U+2E0F Paragraphos

U+2E0F was added in Unicode version 4.1 in 2005. It belongs to the block U+2E00 to U+2E7F Supplemental Punctuation in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Other Punctuation and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+2E0F offers a line break opportunity after its position.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

A paragraphos (Ancient Greek: παράγραφος, parágraphos, from para-, 'beside', and graphein, 'to write') was a mark in ancient Greek punctuation, marking a division in a text (as between speakers in a dialogue or drama) or drawing the reader's attention to another division mark, such as the two dot punctuation mark (used as an obelism).

There are many variants of this symbol, sometimes supposed to have developed from Greek gamma (Γ), the first letter of the word graphos. It was usually placed at the beginning of a line and trailing a little way under or over the text.

It was referenced by Aristotle, who was dismissive of its use.
