I would strongly consider totally redoing how references are displayed to use a popup light box with citation cut n paste tools.
No caret or arrow needed for return in this situation... :)

Most Wikimedia sites use the mediawiki default of an Arrow ↑ to backlink from citation-contents to the superscripted number/letter.
English Wikipedia changed the default in 2006, to use a caret ^ and a few dozen other wikis have copied that.
We'd like to examine the problems with the Arrow, to see if they can be fixed.
We need help browser-testing and diagnosing and fixing the problem(s).
This may have strong relevancy to the Typography Update in Beta Features.
I've tried to summarize everything so far, at

Thanks!
