Indicating corresponding author in list of publications

Question

Is there a way to add an asterisk (or some other symbol) before or after the number in the references list when using biblatex?

I am creating a CV and I want to highlight the papers for which I am the corresponding author so it would look like this:

but the most I have achieved is by making the list manually:

\documentclass[letterpaper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[style=ieee,url=false,doi=false,maxbibnames=99,sorting=ydnt,dashed=false]{biblatex}
\bibliography{papers}
\usepackage{simplecv}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\corresp}{%
  \refstepcounter{@enumctr}% step the level-specific counter
  \item[% Insert item/enumeration
    \textdagger
    ,% Space
    @nameuse{label@enumctr}]% Place level-formatted counter
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\section{Publications}
\begin{enumerate}
    \corresp First Author, Second Author, \textbf{My Name}, Other Corresponding Author, \textit{Journal}, \textbf{1991}, \textit{20}, pp. 1-3.
    \corresp First Author, Second Author, Someone Else, \textbf{Me Again}, \textit{Journal}, \textbf{1992}, \textit{30}, pp. 4-5.
    \item First Author, Second Author, Someone Else, \textbf{Not Corresponding Me}, Corresponding Author \textit{Journal}, \textbf{1993}, \textit{40}, pp. 5-6.
\end{enumerate}
\textdagger indicates applicant is (co-) corresponding author.
\end{document}

Thanks for pointing me to these, however they work with reference styles that do not have numbering. If I implement them, the asterisk simply goes before the first author name. — Dim, Oct 07 '20 at 12:53

You can use the same basic idea as in Functionality of apacites \nocitemeta with biblatex-apa: adding asterisks to author lastnames (meta-analysis).

We just need to print the symbol in the field format labelnumberwidth instead of in the begentry bibmacro to ensure the symbol appears before the label number.

\documentclass[american]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=ieee,
  sorting=ydnt,
  maxbibnames=99,
  url=false,doi=false,
  dashed=false,
]{biblatex}
\newtoggle{bib@corresponding}
\DeclareEntryOption{corresponding}[true]{\settoggle{bib@corresponding}{#1}}
\DeclareFieldFormat{labelnumberwidth}{%
  \iftoggle{bib@corresponding}%
    {\textdagger}%
    {}%
  \mkbibbrackets{#1}%
}
\defbibnote{corresponding}{\textdagger\ indicates applicant is (co-) corresponding author.}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{bohec,
  author        = {Le Bohec, Yann},
  title         = {Histoire militaire des guerres puniques},
  date          = {1996},
  location      = {Monaco},
  publisher     = {Rocher},
  isbn          = {2-268-02147-5},
  options       = {corresponding},
}
@book{uthor,
  author        = {Uthor, Arnold},
  title         = {A Book},
  date          = {2013},
  location      = {Place},
  publisher     = {P. Ublisher's &amp; Co.},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
  \autocite{bohec,uthor}
  \printbibliography[postnote=corresponding]
\end{document}

Different markers can be added analogously.

\documentclass[american]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=ieee,
  sorting=ydnt,
  maxbibnames=99,
  url=false,doi=false,
  dashed=false,
]{biblatex}
\newtoggle{bibentry@corresponding}
\DeclareEntryOption{corresponding}[true]{\settoggle{bibentry@corresponding}{#1}}
\newtoggle{bibentry@cofirst}
\DeclareEntryOption{cofirst}[true]{\settoggle{bibentry@cofirst}{#1}}
\DeclareFieldFormat{labelnumberwidth}{%
  \iftoggle{bibentry@corresponding}%
    {\textdagger}%
    {}%
  \iftoggle{bibentry@cofirst}%
    {\textdaggerdbl}%
    {}%
  \mkbibbrackets{#1}%
}
\defbibnote{corresponding}{\textdagger\ indicates applicant is (co-) corresponding author.}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{bohec,
  author        = {Le Bohec, Yann},
  title         = {Histoire militaire des guerres puniques},
  date          = {1996},
  location      = {Monaco},
  publisher     = {Rocher},
  isbn          = {2-268-02147-5},
  options       = {corresponding},
}
@book{uthor,
  author        = {Uthor, Arnold},
  title         = {A Book},
  date          = {2013},
  location      = {Place},
  publisher     = {P. Ublisher's &amp; Co.},
  options       = {cofirst},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
  \autocite{bohec,uthor}
  \printbibliography[postnote=corresponding]
\end{document}

Thanks! If I may get greedy, how do I go about adding a second symbol? Eg. if I wanted to indicate equal first authorships?
I tried the following but, like I said, I don't know what I'm doing here.. :)

\newtoggle{bib@corresponding} \DeclareEntryOption{corresponding}[true]{\settoggle{bib@corresponding}{#1}} \newtoggle{bib@cofirst} \DeclareEntryOption{cofirst}[true]{\settoggle{bib@cofirst}{#1}}

\DeclareFieldFormat{labelnumberwidth}{% \iftoggle{bib@corresponding}% {\textdagger}% {\iftoggle{bib@cofirst}} {\textdaggerdbl} {}% \mkbibbrackets{#1}% } — Dim, Oct 08 '20 at 13:28
@Dim See the edit, please. (You were almost there, the combined \iftoggles were just a bit off.) — moewe, Oct 08 '20 at 15:01

thanks for pointing that out.. I was trying to upvote with no luck [facepalm] :) — Dim, Oct 09 '20 at 16:00
