How to merge multiple footnotes?

Question

Is it possible to merge multiple footnote?

For example: "Solution A\footenote{Created by person C} and solution B\footnote{Created by person C} are great".

The footnote should then be just one with the text "Created by person C".

Does http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/35043/reference-different-places-to-the-same-footnote help? — Torbjørn T., Sep 14 '13 at 12:33

One solution is the fixfoot package. You must compile twice to see only a foot note.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xspace}
\usepackage{fixfoot}
\DeclareFixedFootnote*{\personC}{Created by person C.}
\begin{document}
Solution A\personC and solution B\personC are great.
\end{document}

The "*{..}" part caused issues for me. This worked:
\DeclareFixedFootnote\personC{Created by person C.}
