U+24DF ⓟ CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER P. The sound recording copyright symbol or phonogram symbol, represented by the graphic symbol ℗, is the copyright symbol used to provide notice of copyright in a sound recording (phonogram) embodied in a phonorecord (LPs, audiotapes, cassette tapes, compact discs, etc.).

Notation clearly begun and developed in parallel with music theory, because you cannot record what notes are being used if you have no names for the notes, or way of identifying what relationships are between the notes. Hence, as the concepts of scales and keys began to take shape, so notes started to be named.

In Word, what are the strange ‘backward P’ characters? In Word, these markers indicate the ends of paragraphs, and are created when you press RETURN at the end of a line.

A pilcrow (¶) is a symbol that is used to indicate the end of a paragraph. When the symbol was first used circa 1440, it was designed as the letter C to indicate a capitulum, or “chapter,” in Latin, but was modified over the years to eventually include double lines and an inked in circle.

All you need to do is:

1. Make sure you are on the “Home” tab in the ribbon.
2. Look for the “Paragraph” group.
3. Click on the icon that looks like the “Backwards P”

It’s a paragraph mark. If that button doesn’t change the appearance of the paragraph marks, click the Office button (the circle at the top left) and click Word Options, then click Display, and clear the check mark from the box for “Paragraph marks”.

Searching for Paragraph Marks and Line Breaks

1. Press Ctrl+F. Word displays the Find tab of the Find and Replace dialog box. (See Figure 1.)
2. In the Find What box, enter the text for which you want to search. To search for a paragraph mark, enter ^p; to search for a line break, enter ^l.
3. Set other searching parameters, as desired.
4. Click on Find Next.

Special characters like em dashes or section marks (§)

1. Click or tap where you want to insert the special character.
2. Go to Insert > Symbol > More Symbols.
3. Go to Special Characters.
4. Double-click the character that you want to insert.
5. Select Close.

On the “Home” tab, click “Replace” or just press Ctrl+H. In the “Find What” box, delete any existing text or characters and then type a single hyphen character.

Example of removing special characters using replaceAll() method

1. public class RemoveSpecialCharacterExample1.
2. {
3. public static void main(String args[])
4. {
5. String str= “This#string%contains^special*characters&.”;
6. str = str.replaceAll(“[^a-zA-Z0-9]”, ” “);
7. System.out.println(str);
8. }

Special text characters are normal characters that don’t appear on standard keyboards; but once inserted, they look the same as keyboard characters. Word has twelve special text characters.
