Evan,
That?s not the same character. The section break is something like ANSI 12.
According to Wikipedia, § is a typographical character used mainly to refer
to a particular section of a document, such as a legal code. It is
frequently used along with the pilcrow (¶), or paragraph sign.
I?ve seen the character along with other garbage characters. You?ll
probably want to delete it.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question About Section Breaks
This book I'm reading through has a character (identified by JAWS as ANSI
167) in one of the notes in reference to Snorra Edda, Gylfaginning Section
8, where Section is the Ansi character, which JAWS reads as 'section'. I
presume this is the section break. Is this correct?
If so, my question is: Should I leave this symbol in or substitute something
else. Will this mess up the page counting software in Daisy? If so, I'll
have to change it, as this book has an index and I have made very sure that
ALL (that's all in all caps) page breaks are present. I don't want them
messed up for any reason. I don't know anything about this symbol, and
therefore want to be cautious. If it is possible that this symbol can be
interpreted as, or confused with, the page break by Bookshare's processing,
then I will have to change it.
Thanks much.
