pilcrow
/ˈpɪlkrəʊ
/noun
A symbol (¶) used to mark a new paragraph or section of text: early printed books were designed to accommodate hand-drawn rubrications, including spaces at the beginning of each section for a pilcrow...
- If you click on the pilcrow on your toolbar (looks like a backwards P) it will turn on the Show/Hide button, which will reveal a paragraph mark after the table.
- Word will not allow you to delete that paragraph mark (pilcrow) because it is a part of the document's table format.
- Aside from the keyboard, you have three buttons: one for formatting, indicated by a pilcrow; an "Insert" button for inserting external elements into your document; and a "Done" button that puts the keyboard away.
Origin
Late Middle English: apparently from a variant of paragraph, remodelled after the more familiar words pill1 and crow1.
