How to change footnote symbol to a dagger
add tag
topnush 
This must be simple but I couldn't find a solution that worked for me. I have this MWE:

```
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\title{Top title \vspace{2em}\\ Second title\vspace{1em} \\ Third title\footnote{Thank you to Penn and Teller.}}
\author{Author}
        \date{}
\usepackage{exsheets}
\SetupExSheets{
  headings = block-subtitle ,
  subtitle-format = \bfseries % default is \itshape
}
\usepackage{paralist}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\SetupExSheets{solution/print=false}
\SetupExSheets{question/type=exam}
\SetupExSheets[points]{name=point,name-plural=points}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
    \fancyfoot{}
    \lhead{Author}
    \pagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}
\maketitle


\begin{question}[subtitle=Hard math ]
Question
\end{question}
\begin{solution}
Solution
\end{solution}
\newpage

\end{document}
```

I want to change the * footnote symbol after "Third title" to a dagger. How can I do that?

`\maketitle` uses `\@fnsymbol` to show the footnote marker. You could redefine it to start with a dagger instead of the `*` which is normally at the start of the list:

```
\documentclass{article}
\title{title\footnote{Thank you}}

\makeatletter
\def\@fnsymbol#1{\ensuremath{\ifcase#1\or \dagger\or \ddagger\or
   \mathsection\or \mathparagraph\or \|\or **\or \dagger\dagger
   \or \ddagger\ddagger \else\@ctrerr\fi}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\end{document}
```
