Asterisk mixed with numbers

[drbeco]

I've tried to use this package, but it is showing different symbols on the repeated footnotes. Image:

The code used is as follow:

\DeclareFixedFootnote{\uni}{Universidade de Somewherevile}

\title{Comparando os algoritmos de algo}

\author{Sobrenome1, A.\uni\\ [email protected] \and
Sobrenome2, A.\uni\\ [email protected] \and
Sobrenome3, A.\uni\\ [email protected] \and
Sobrenome4, A. B.\uni\\ [email protected]}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\enddocument}

Is there a simple way to fix that? An option to chose between all using asterisks or all using numbers would be great. But using mixed like this is not useful.

Thanks
