An important 19th century dictionary of Polish uses two kinds of
section sign, illustrated in the attachment, there is over 5000
occurrences of the characters. Dirty OCR interpreted both of them as
the letter g, so you can see most of them visiting

   http://poliqarp.wbl.klf.uw.edu.pl/slownik-lindego

switching on graphical concordances and using the query

   g "\." within body

Are you familiar with the reversed section sign? It is highly
improbable that the character has been designed especially for the
dictionary, but I am not aware of any other use of it.

Does it deserve to be included in the standard, directly or through a
variant selector?

Best regards
