ℹ️ About
The Section Sign (§) is a typographical mark used to reference particular numbered sections of a document. It is ubiquitous in legal citations (e.g., § 202) and technical manuals. Originating as a double ‘s’ (signum sectionis), it ensures clear structural referencing in complex texts.
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with & (Ampersand) or 8 (Digit Eight) in stylized fonts.
