U+2E10 "⸐" Forked Paragraphos Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2E10 "⸐" Forked Paragraphos is a typographic mark used in ancient and medieval manuscripts, particularly in Greek and Latin texts, to indicate a break in sense or a new section within the prose, similar to a modern paragraph break. Its distinctive forked shape, often resembling a trident or an arrow with two diverging lines, was originally drawn in the margins by scribes to guide readers through textual divisions. In modern Unicode encoding, it belongs to the Supplemental Punctuation block and is sometimes employed in scholarly editions of classical works or in digital typography to replicate historical scribal notations.
