I wanted to use the pilcrow in a response to a blogpost. But my keyboard seems to lack this device, or I don't know how to access it. Google to the rescue "paragraph symbol" and instantly the little dickens appeared before my eyes. Copy and paste, problem solved.
I have used the same technique on other occasions when in need of a symbol or even a phrase in the alphabet of an alien language. Quick and easy.
You may have referred to the pilcrow as paraph, or alinea, or simply the paragraph mark.* It's all good. Full disclosure: pilcrow is a new term to me as well.
A day in which one learns nothing is a wasted day. You are welcome.
*Some refer to the symbol as "a blind P" but I tend to be more careful in my use of language.
Happy Seventeenth Anniversary to my Beloved Beautiful Better Half!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY YOU LOVELY PEOPLE !
Grace, we thank you so much for the good wishes.
Looking good!
Happy day to you and your bride!
Various symbols often have multiple names. When I worked for a company that provided software to telephone companies, I learned that # is sometimes called octothorpe, and * is sometimes called splat.
Chuck, thanks. Full disclosure: the picture is four years old, but one we like very much.
Jim, thank you. And I have learned a new thing for this day: *splat* Thanks.
Thank you for admitting that you did not know the name--I thought it was just me.
Happy Anniversary, you two crazy love birds!
Lin, that's me. I am pretty transparent. Mostly
Thank you for the wishes!
Very special that you are celebrating another year. So happy for you!
