How to use a symbol as footnote marker with hyperref and cleveref packages

I need to refer multiple times in the text to the same footnote with hyperref support. This can be achieved using the cleveref package, as explained in this answer. My problem is that I would also like to use symbols instead of numbers as footnote markers. I tried to follow the suggestions given in the first two answers to this this question, but the code did not compile.

Here is a minimal working example. I would like to use an asterisk in place of the number 1. Can anybody help me, please?

documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage{hyperref}
usepackage{cleveref}
crefformat{footnote}{#2footnotemark[#1]#3}

begin{document}    
Here I have a footnotefootnote{label{first}Footnote text.}.

Here I have the same footnotecref{first}.  
end{document}

documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{amsart}
usepackage{hyperref}
usepackage{cleveref}
crefformat{footnote}{#2textsuperscript{normalfont #1}#3}
renewcommand*{thefootnote}{fnsymbol{footnote}}
begin{document}
Here I have a footnotefootnote{label{first}Footnote text.}.

Here I have the same footnotecref{first}.
end{document}

documentclass[12pt]{amsart}

usepackage[symbol*]{footmisc}
usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}

begin{document}    
Here I have a footnotefootnote{label{first}Footnote text.}.

Here I have the same footnotefootref{first}.  
end{document}
