Sorry, you got it wrong. The Special list contains two different
entries, Paragraph Mark and Paragraph Character. The first inserts ^p,
which finds real paragraph marks. The second (correctly) inserts ^v,
which finds the pilcrow character ¶ (just an ordinary character, not
the end of a paragraph). As a reminder of which is which, the
Paragraph Character item in the list includes the ¶ character.
