Controlling Your Footnote Marks

Once again, this section is for those who wish to go beyond the mundane and use unusual symbols for their footnotes. This can be done by using the PHYZZX command
footnote{ symbol }{ text }
which will generate a footnote using the symbol you have specified as the footnote mark. The symbol can be any math mode symbol, or any outré thing that you can think up. The symbol does have to be in math mode, so if it is something you made up instead of a math mode control sequence, be sure to
hbox
it and enclose it in $ signs.
