If that’s the case, shouldn’t the 硬 symbol be on this grammar point?

Part of literary style, not exclusively! That’s why it doesn’t have the 硬.
I’ve heard Japanese people say でもある in conversation. A teacher once told me: ‘日本人でもある私にも意味が変わらない’ When reading Murakami. It made me laugh.

It’s very tangential but this point just now made me understand that だ is ultimately a contraction of である. である → であ → だ. Hence だった → でもあった. It’s obvious in hindsight but I don’t remember ever seeing it pointed out in the resources I’ve used.
Mind blown.
