To print section sign from the keyboard (in windows), hold down Alt and when Num Lock is enabled on the numeric panel (right) dial 0167. Alt+0167. Or copy here.

A paragraph is a complete piece of text. They are usually singled out in the official literature, such as textbooks, legislation, financial documents. Then they are numbered to simplify the orientation of the content.

The icon of section sign is two fused Latin letters S. But it is in our tradition, and some other people it looks quite different, and is not placed at the beginning and at the end of the text. Here are some examples:

။ — Myanmar

፠ — Ethiopic

᨟ — Buginese

܀ — Syriac section symbol

Unicode has many different Chapter markers for writing type khojki or sharada. Perhaps they serve the same purpose.

Il simbolo «Segno di sezione» è incluso nel sotto-blocco «Punteggiatura e simboli Latin-1» del blocco «Latin-1 Supplemento» ed è stato approvato come parte della versione Unicode 1.1 nel 1993.
