Typographical symbol to indicate page

There are many typographical symbols, for example:

  • The pilcrow (¶) is used for paragraphs.
  • The asterisk, dagger and double dagger (*,†,‡) for footnotes.
  • The hurricane (§) for sections.

Is there any symbol for pages?


Solution 1:

I'm not aware of a symbol; I use p. or pp. for single or multiple pages.

(and is the section symbol really called "hurricane"? that's amusing.)

Solution 2:

In addition to the answer offered by Lauren Ipsum, the electronic era of document control has introduced a number of symbols for page through the requirement to mark a page break. In particular, form feed is used to denote the end of the current page and the start of a new page. The symbol for form feed is represented in a number of ways:

  • FF
  • U+000c (unicode)
  • ↡ U+21a1 (unicode) double down-headed arrow
  • ␌ U+240c (unicode) form feed symbol F F
  • \f (programming)
