Wikidata
Section sign
The section sign is a typographical character used mainly to refer to a particular section of a document, such as a legal code. It is also called "double S", "sectional symbol", "the legal doughnut", signum sectiōnis. It is frequently used along with the pilcrow, or paragraph sign. When duplicated, as §§, it is read as the plural "sections", much as "pp." is the plural of "p.". The likely origin of the section sign is the digraph formed by the combination of two S'es. Like the dagger and double dagger, it is also sometimes used to link to a footnote where the asterisk is already in use on a given page; however, these usages are declining in favor of numbered footnotes, usually linked by a superscripted and/or square bracketed number.
