What is a "section sign"?
The section sign (§) is a typographic symbol used to reference a specific section of a document, legal text, or academic paper. It helps readers locate particular parts of a written work efficiently. For example, one might see it in a sentence like "Refer to § 3 for more details," indicating that additional information can be found in Section 3 of the document. The section sign is often used in legal contexts, contracts, and formal writing, where clarity and precision are essential. By clearly marking sections, the section sign aids in organizing and navigating complex texts.
