Customizing the symbol next to the author's name in a document

I would like to choose the symbol appearing next to the author's name of a document (for example, I would like to put a dagger instead of a star). Here is an example showing how one can proceed to choose the symbol for the command footnote : Symbols instead of numbers as footnote markers
Problem is that it fails when used in the author environment. I can not use the above example if I use thanks instead of footnote.
Here is a minimal example :
documentclass[a4paper,11pt,two column]article
usepackage[symbol]footmisc
renewcommandthefootnotefnsymbolfootnote
begindocument
authorNicolasfootnote[2]Ask a question
titleMinimal Example

enddocument

The article
documentclass offers the thanks
command for footnotes within the author
. These footnotes are automatically labelled by a symbol chosen from the following list (in the given order): *
, â€Â
, ‡
, §
, ¶
, ‖
, **
, †â€Â
, ‡‡
.
If you want your first footnote to be labelled by â€Â
rather than *
, you could change the following original definition:
def@fnsymbol#1ensuremathor **or daggerdagger
or ddaggerddagger else@ctrerrfi
to:
def@fnsymbol#1ensuremathifcase#1or daggeror ddaggeror
mathsectionor mathparagraphor
where I have simply deleted *or
from the sequence.
The above code can be applied as shown in the following MWE:
documentclass[a4paper,11pt,two column]article
makeatletter
def@fnsymbol#1ensuremathifcase#1or daggeror ddaggeror
mathsectionor mathparagraphor
makeatother

For a more in depth discussion on how the thanks
command works, you can have a look at the Werner's excellent answer to 'How does thanks work in LaTeX article class?'
It works perfectly well, I do thank you ! Thanks also for the link to Werner's answer, it indeed helps to better understand the command.

A simpler approach than @leandriis' is to just set the counter appropriately (easier as long as you have just one note). So you pretend to have one footnote before and latex uses the second footnote symbol.
