I am trying to make a legend comprised of both the plot's marker symbol and a line. Specifically, I am hoping to have a legend that looks like the line is crossing through the marker. My current code only shows a line:

Function1 = Exp[-0.03*g100];

Plot1 = Plot[Function1, {g100, 0.000001, 100}, ImageSize -> Large, PlotRange -> {0, 1}, 
   Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}}, 
   PlotLegends -> 
    Placed[{Style["test", FontSize -> 20,
        Black]}, {0.9, 0.85}]];
Plot2 = ListPlot[
   Thread[{Range[1/20, 1, 1/20], {0.228, 0.379, 0.433, 0.515, 0.557, 
      0.567, 0.621, 0.624, 0.637, 0.661, 0.663, 0.655, 0.613, 0.601, 
      0.578, 0.512, 0.484, 0.459, 0.399, 0.38}}], DataRange -> {0, 1},
    PlotMarkers -> {"\[FilledCircle]", 15}, PlotRange -> {0, 0.4}];
Show[Plot1, Plot2]

Is there a solution to this problem, despite the fact that the markers are associated with a data set that is independent of Function1?

    $\begingroup$ use PlotLegends -> Placed[LineLegend[{Style["test", FontSize -> 20, Black]}, LegendMarkers -> {Automatic, 12}], {0.9, 0.85}] in Plot[...]? $\endgroup$

For me, the obvious step of adding a PlotLegends argument to Plot2 does what I think you are asking for

Function1 = Exp[-0.03*g100];

Plot1 = Plot[Function1, {g100, 0.000001, 100}, ImageSize -> Large, 
   PlotRange -> {0, 1}, Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}}, 
   PlotLegends -> 
    Placed[{Style["test", FontSize -> 20, Black]}, {0.9, 0.85}]];
Plot2 = ListPlot[
   Thread[{Range[1/20, 1, 1/20], {0.228, 0.379, 0.433, 0.515, 0.557, 
      0.567, 0.621, 0.624, 0.637, 0.661, 0.663, 0.655, 0.613, 0.601, 
      0.578, 0.512, 0.484, 0.459, 0.399, 0.38}}], DataRange -> {0, 1},
    PlotMarkers -> {"●", 15}, 
   PlotLegends -> 
    Placed[{Style["test 2", FontSize -> 20, Black]}, {0.9, 0.85}], 
   PlotRange -> {0, 0.4}];
Show[Plot1, Plot2]
