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)
