Picrow sign

[edit]

Looking at all the dictionaries on Onelook.com, nobody says that a "paraph" is also a name for the pilcrow sign.

Pilcrow's talk page does have a reference:

"According to Parkes's Pause and Effect: An Introduction to the History of Punctuation in the West ... the pilcrow is a symbol for 'paraph' (which can also be marked by a double-slash, or a full-height cent-like sign), and it started as a 'C', for capitulum.

Can anyone get a full reference for this one? Ll1324 (talk) 14:57, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
