Using cleveref with tagged equations

Question

In my document I have a tagged equation, something that goes like

\begin{equation}\tag{$\dagger$}\label{whatever}  \end{equation}

Then latter I want to refer to it using \eqref{whatever}. But instead of a desired output ($\dagger$) I get something like (3). How do I fix this? (I also use hyperref and amsrefs in addition to cleveref.)

Answer 1

Note that there's a load order preference when dealing with hyperref and cleveref, answered in Which packages should be loaded after hyperref instead of before? cleveref should be loaded after hyperref.

Since the only information at hand indicates the use of hyperref, cleveref and amsmath (due to \tag), the following load order works:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}% http://ctan.org/pkg/amsmath
\usepackage{hyperref}% http://ctan.org/pkg/hyperref
\usepackage{cleveref}% http://ctan.org/pkg/cleveref
\begin{document}
See~\eqref{whatever} \ldots 
\begin{equation}
  f(x)=ax^2+bx+c \tag{$\dagger$}\label{whatever}
\end{equation}
\end{document}
