More general than that. In books, for example, you occasionally see a mixture
of numbers and traditional typographical symbols (e.g. *, †, ‡, §, |, ¶) used
as footnote anchors. (see "New Harts Rules", 2005, section 17.2.3 "Notes and
references: Numbering and Placement").

IME, the character style that works for numbers does not necessarily work well
for non-numericaL symbols: hence the need for two different character styles
for the anchors.

One solution is to use the default character style for numbered footnote
anchors, then create a second character style for typographical mark note
anchors, and apply it over the desired note anchors.

This worked in Open Office but not in LibreOffice. In the latter, for some
reason you cannot overrule the default "Character Style > Position > Position"
properties.

Possibly. But IMV the inconsistent application of the overwriting character
style properties looks like a bug.
