I want to change the foot note symbol to daggers.

I have followed the instructions in the following thread Symbols instead of numbers as footnote markers and added the following:

\usepackage[symbol]{footmisc}
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}

It does not work. The following line just produces the number "n" instead of the symbol it supposedly points to:

\footnote[n]{text}.

Anyone have any idea why its not working?

    Please provide a MWE (minimal working example) following the demands you find here: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/231952, so that we can better understand the problem you are encountering. If you compile this MWE, the output is as expected: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[symbol]{footmisc} \begin{document} Text\footnote[2]{Text} \end{document} – Ivan May 27 '21 at 23:28

    What does n refer to here? Surely a number, but is it just any number? Like 123456, say? A small number, or a large number? – Werner May 28 '21 at 00:48
