Welcome everybody,
I have been wondering for a while what is the Latin name for the pilcrow... I am looking for a good name for my book design company that I am about to establish; I’ve had lots of ideas, unfortunately, as it is common with ideas - many people have them, and the choice is not so satisfactory.
Eh, anyway, could anyone help me with this? I am getting a bit desperate.
Thanks in advance,

I think maybe it’s Capitolum. Anyway, you
can find it in “Pause and Effect” (M B Parkes).
BTW, a really cool name for the Pilcrow is
the Spanish one: Calderon. It sounds like
some really serious planet or something.

“It sounds like

or else MacBeth: “...Fire burn and Calderon bubble!”

Who’s this Derron I’m supposed to call about the fonts?
or else MacBeth: “…Fire burn and Calderon bubble!”
or Clarendon!
I didn’t know that “calderon” is the Spanish one, in Italian if we say “calderone” it means “a group of messed up things”, “putting together ideas in a confused way”; if we say “to put everything in the same ’calderone’” then it means “to consider/mistake different discordant things in the same way”. What about “Dostaa” ? I loved Chimera restaurant in Krakow.

Here is a definition from Wikipeda. Lots of words in here.
