--- Comment #8 from Walter Tuvell <walt.tuvell at gmail.com> ---
As for references, Google for "sequence of symbols used for footnotes". When I
did this just now, the first 4 hits showed 4 different sequences for the
"standard/suggested" (LO's hard-coded sequence matched Wikipedia's).

But note also my comment about "🞶=U+1F7B6 ≠ *=U+002A". When using "star" as a
footnote marker, you want to use "star," and not "asterisk." That's because
asterisk is ALREADY superscript, so when used as footnote marker it becomes
double-superscripted. Which is just plain wrong.
