To be honest, I don't know, as regards UK, I know it is common in the US and Brazilian laws (the latter, I know a lot about). And also it is used in proofreading, to mark a paragraph in a text (although hardly anyone does proofreading by hand, except galley proofs). I think it is also used in EU legislation. I will investigate later.
