A nice type of footnote
In relation to the question A nice collection of exercises for students that I have asked, at the moment I do not know how to have the same shaded line inverted in gray (I would to have the possibility to change the color: for example orange, or other colors) at the top right that can be replaced instead of the classic horizontal black line of the footnote command.
See the picture below in attachment:

Here there is my output and my MWE:

documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage[bottom,hang]{footmisc}
setlengthfootnotemargin{4.5pt}
setlength{footnotesep}{4.5pt}
setlength{skipfootins}{8mm}
begin{document}
First wordfootnote{One}, Second wordfootnote{Two}
end{document}

Just renewcommandfootnoterule using the (simplified) definition of the rule in the linked post. You have to do this before loading the package footmisc because it overwrites footnoterule.
documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{fadings}
renewcommandfootnoterule{%
noindent
kern-3pt
begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=-10pt]
fill[darkgray,path fading=east] (0,0) rectangle (.4columnwidth,0.02);
end{tikzpicture}%
kern2.6pt
}
usepackage[bottom,hang]{footmisc}
setlengthfootnotemargin{4.5pt}
setlength{footnotesep}{4.5pt}
setlength{skipfootins}{8mm}
begin{document}
First wordfootnote{One}, Second wordfootnote{Two}
end{document}

I'd like to thank you so much in the meantime. Could the horizontal line you drew start earlier above the footnotes?

@HenriMenke I think Sebastiano means have the line line up on the left with the footnotes (which you can do by addingnoindent).

@HenriMenke I hope that when I add your code to the construction of my book, it won't be a problem. I am currently writing class assignments for my students with LaTeX. Thank you again. Your answer and the green light are great for me.

[EDIT: This answer does not change the footnote rule, but only change the footnote text and symbol colors]
Adding 3 lines into your preamble may give you what you want:
documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage[bottom,hang]{footmisc}
setlengthfootnotemargin{4.5pt}
setlength{footnotesep}{4.5pt}
setlength{skipfootins}{8mm}
%
usepackage{xcolor}
renewcommand{thefootnote}{color{orange}arabic{footnote}} % change the color of the footnote counter
renewcommand{footnotelayout}{color{orange}} % change the color of the footnote text
%
begin{document}
First wordfootnote{One}, Second wordfootnote{Two}.
end{document}
The output would be:
