Unicode Version 17.0
🕅
U+1F545 "🕅" Symbol for Marks Chapter is a rarely used typographic symbol historically employed in manuscripts and early printed works to denote a specific chapter or section, particularly associated with the Gospel of Mark in biblical texts. It features a stylized, angular design resembling a cross or a compass-like shape, serving as a visual marker akin to a pilcrow or section sign but with distinct Christian scriptural connotations. Despite its inclusion in the Unicode standard under the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block, the character has seen limited adoption in modern digital contexts, remaining primarily of interest to scholars of paleography, textual criticism, and historical typography.
