In a Beamer frame how can I make a footnote with symbol (such as †)? I have tried options from this Symbols instead of numbers as footnote markers However they don't work for Beamer and I still get text superscript.

Modified to suit the new wish of the OP. Works but ugly, IMHO.

\documentclass{beamer}
\makeatother
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\ifcase\value{footnote}\or(\$)\or
(\$\$)\or(\$\$\$)\or(\$\$\$\$)\or(\#)\or(\#\#)\or(\#\#\#)\or(\#\#\#\#)\or(\#\#\#\#\#)\fi}
\makeatletter
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Text\footnote{Text of the footnote}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Remove the brackets if you just want a $ sign.

  • How can I change the symbol from * to $ (for example)? – d.putto Feb 23 '16 at 13:38

  • This seems to not work if using a theme and the text is inside a box like theorem. For instance with \usetheme{Madrid} and \begin{theorem} / \end{theorem} around the footnoted text, the footnote symbol is a lower-case letter, and this code does not affect it. – Nate Eldredge Oct 01 '19 at 20:13
  • @NateEldredge In that case you can always use the \footnotemark and \footnotetext construct, with the \footnotetext outside the block. – Denis Oct 03 '19 at 08:05
