--- Comment #19 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
The typesetters Pilcrow  - ¶ (U+00B6) shape evolved from the Capitulum - ⸿
(U+2E3F). Use of the Downward Arrow with Corner Leftwards - ↵ (U+21B5) symbol
marking on the Enter key is a cross over to computer keyboards from electric
typewriter marketing.

The Unicode CLDR does not address locale preference for "paragraph markings",
nor has it been covered in published Unicode UAX (#24, #29, #38, #50).

Its use in LibreOffice is strictly decorative--what to label the show/hide
formatting button, likewise how to "decorate" paragraph ends on VCL canvas when
shown.

It could be changed to be more culturally appropriate, but rather than the ↵
(U+21B5) arrow--seems the IDEOGRAPHIC NUMBER ZERO - 〇 might be the more
appropriate choice for the CJK locales.

Would require dynamic glyph on the button, and ability to customize from expert
configuration or a widget on the Tools -> Options -> Language Settings ->
Languages panel.

A lot of work for what is a marginal enhancement.

IMHO => WF
