A paragraphos (Ancient Greek: παράγραφος, parágraphos, from para-, 'beside', and graphein, 'to write') was a mark in ancient Greek punctuation, marking a division in a text (as between speakers in a dialogue or drama) or drawing the reader's attention to another division mark, such as the two dot punctuation mark ⟨⁚⟩.

Paragraphos
Paragraphos literally meant in ancient Greek papyri anything that was written beside the main text, e.g. marginal note or sign to mark the close or beginning of a sentence. There are many variants of this symbol. The Greek paragraphos is usually placed at the beginning of the line but it may refer to a break in the text at any point in the line. In a drama it can indicate the change of persons. The symbol itself is supposed to have developed from Greek gamma as from graphos. In a proper Unicode font, multiple versions exist: ⁕U+2E0F ⸏ paragraphos ⁕U+2E10 ⸐ forked paragraphos ⁕U+2E11 ⸑ reversed forked paragraphos
