Yong Peng,

The symbol § as used in the Buddhists texts usually mean Section (as opposed
to page, etc.)

Sukhi.

Dear Nina and friends,

thanks. Allow me to sidetrack for another question:

What does the symbol § stands for. So far, I have only come across it
in buddhist texts. Is it an obsolete symbol? If so, what is its
modern equivalent? Thank you.

metta,
Yong Peng
