    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_sign

    Haven't used that character myself in ages. Last use for me was in Word Perfect over 20 years ago. I went under the Double S name for it but knew it had many names so I shared the wiki on it.

    Last seen this character used on a fps deathmatch that I play... its in the game title logo :  ;D  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsow_(video_game)

      It is not in every font

      You can hold down the Alt key and type 21 on the keypad, or Alt and 0167

        In German law they use this symbol but it must pertain to something like page paragraph or sentence.

        Paragraphzeichen §

        Maybe you can use this or the US English name (Section Sign) in Character Map Search? (In Advanced View)?
