What ⸑ means
It marks the end of a text section.
Ancient Greek paragraphos marks guided readers from the margin: depending on the text, they could mark a sentence ending, a speaker change, or a verse division.
A second-century CE papyrus preserving a work by the comic poet Cratinus (PSI XI 1212) uses ⸑ to close each strophe—a section of a choral poem—while the plain paragraphos closes a speech section. A 2002 proposal for encoding Greek texts records three examples from two authors. Unicode Core Specification 17.0 gives paragraphos marks their own line, without spaces; they do not themselves create a paragraph break.
Specialist punctuation for scholarly transcription; unusual in ordinary prose.
It marks a text-section ending, not a modern paragraph break.
