Unicode Version 17.0
⸑
U+2E11 "⸑" Reversed Forked Paragraphos is an ancient Greek punctuation mark that appears as a mirrored version of the standard "forked paragraphos" (U+2E10), typically resembling a horizontal line with two short downward strokes at one end. It was used in classical and Hellenistic texts as a critical sign to mark the end of a section, the conclusion of a paragraph, or to indicate a notable change in subject, often placed in the margins of papyrus manuscripts. Its precise function could vary among scribes, but it generally served as a visual cue for readers to recognize textual boundaries or editorial annotations in scholarly and literary works.
