Discussion

Sormane Gomes Jul 23, 2004:
Apparently, people have different opinions about it (see references). I have to say that I usually see the word written, not the symbol in these kinds of documents.
Sormane Gomes Jul 23, 2004:
That is just the symbol for paragraph. In contracts you write the word paragraph.
Non-ProZ.com Jul 23, 2004:
"�" may be used in contracts, indicating paragraphs?

Apparently, some people use it. Take a look at this:

Citations to specific portions of an opinion issued on or after January 1, 2000 must be to paragraph numbers, not page numbers. Both official print reporters, the Wisconsin Reports and the North Western Reporter, are required to include public domain paragraphs in opinions published after January 1, 2000.

...¶3 HyperLaw agrees with the South Dakota approach: a paragraph symbol should be used within the citation appearing in text. It is clear and avoids confusion with sequence number citations, page number citations and Westlaw/Lexis * pagination. Where the symbol is not available, the abbreviation Para. may be used.

para.

Já vi o termo inglês "paragraph" abreviado desta forma. O símbolo sugerido também é usado mas eu pessoalmente escreveria com esta abreviação ou então por extenso.
