behnam has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/alreq: == Recommended symbols/signs for Paragraph and Section == Section sign (§) and Pilcrow (¶) are commonly used in Latin-script documents as symbols for Section and Paragraph, usually used for linking (in plain text on paper, or hyper link on web/ebook) to internal/external sections/paragraphs. Pilcrow (¶) is also commonly used in "show control character" mode of Word Processors as a symbol for "new line", along side the U+23CE RETURN SYMBOL (⏎). Non of these are that common in Arabic-script documents/apps. We need to research on common/traditional practices for the section/paragraph symbols. About the RETURN SYMBOL, we need to see if there has been any keyboards using a mirrored-version of the symbol for denoting NL/CR. ---- See Also: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_sign * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilcrow * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriage_return Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/161 using your GitHub account
