How about adding something like this to the doc-string:
diff --git a/lisp/mail/footnote.el b/lisp/mail/footnote.el
index dc967ec8..1a60a333 100644
--- a/lisp/mail/footnote.el
+++ b/lisp/mail/footnote.el
@@ -337,6 +337,10 @@ (defcustom footnote-style 'numeric
unicode == ¹, ², ³, ...
See also variables `footnote-start-tag' and `footnote-end-tag'.
+NB: some characters in the latin and unicode style may not be
+shown properly if the default font does not contain those
+characters.
+
Customizing this variable has no effect on buffers already
displaying footnotes. To change the style of footnotes in such a
buffer use the command `Footnote-set-style'."
