I don't know why but someone edited my comment. The original had 2 footnotes which were combined into one. Now it is ambiguous. Thank you for your disservice.

Most likely, you had a single line break between the two footnotes, but you need two to actually start a new paragraph. And if you started your second footnote with two asterisks, that gets read as an empty italicized string.
