Description 00 2018-11-05 14:47:23 UTC
Description:
"Paragraph symbol" "¶" is a symbol created by the "Western world".
Therefore, the "paragraph symbol" used in the "Western world" is "¶".

However, the "Oriental World" does not have the symbol "¶" at all.
The "paragraph symbol" used in "Oriental World" is "↵".



Current Microsoft Office practices:
◎, English version.
1. Press the "Paragraph Symbol" of "Enter" to "¶".
◎, Traditional Chinese version.
1. Press the "Paragraph Symbol" of "Enter" to "↵".
2. Press "Shift+Enter" and the "line feed symbol" is "↓".

The following is the "Traditional Chinese version" Office 2019 download URL, you can try for 5 days, the file size is 3.2GB.

Solution:
1. Provide the "paragraph symbol" of "¶" and "↵" for the user to choose.
2. Use the following URL to solve my other article.

Example with 0x21B5

Couple of options are listed in [1] and it looks like this with DOWNWARDS ARROW WITH CORNER LEFTWARDS. The remaining pilcrow can be changed in sw/source/core/text/frmpaint.cxx #548. However, the look and feel depends heavily on the font and the SYMBOL FOR NEWLINE (shows "N/L") is not available at all for me. So I wonder if we really should go this way.
The actual request is about the icon. Similar to the currency symbol it may vary, but then it likely should go along with the actual symbol in the document. Is there any official support / standarization for the idea to not use a pilcrow?

Comment 6 Heiko Tietze 2019-03-14 10:18:14 UTC
Another place with the pilrow is Tools > Options > Writer > Formatting Aids. And there is a break symbol that we show today on Shift+Enter. So exchanging the pilcrow against the arrow requires another symbol here too.
Comment 7 Heiko Tietze 2019-03-28 14:23:03 UTC
We discussed the request in the design meeting. The standard is the pilcrow symbol, and we use the downward arrow to show soft breaks. So we would have to change two symbols - and make it customizable, which adds complexity to the program - what is a huge effort with a very low benefit. Out Taiwanese colleague agreed with this decision to resolve as WFM.

No.  It is not a standard behavior even in Traditional Chinese.

Yes, while the idea is tempting the UX team recommends to not do it because of the stated arguments. Feel free to reopen the ticket if you insist on the proposal. And you are very welcome if you do the coding yourself.

The issue is, Everyone is used to using "↵".
In this case, Persist in using "↵" users, Will not use LibreOffice.

Please think clearly...

"↵" is really very important, This is a habit problem.
Trust me, Changed "↵", LibreOffice's market share, Will definitely increase.

I also live in Taiwan, You should ask me first...

I won't write Program.



If you can't use ¶, Don't you feel weird?

I don't think so.  I've never heard anyone complaining about this.

It's Microsoft way, not the standard.

Persist in using "↵" users, Because will not use LibreOffice, So you won't find this problem.

There are so few users of LibreOffice now, So there are very few people complaining...

correct, In "Traditional Chinese", There is no "paragraph symbol" at all, But the "↵" symbol has in accordance with, Not a Microsoft casual decision.

『↵』=『Enter』The symbol above the button

Because "↵" is the standard, So be sure to use "↵".

Think with the "Enter" button, You will find that, In fact, the right way, It should be that the whole world has to be changed to "↵".

Microsoft used to use "↵" all over the world, Later Microsoft should be affected by LibreOffice, So in 2017, Change the English version to "¶".



Taiwan colleagues, It should be a Who 2 translator, Those 2 translators, Just keen on translation, In software development, Not professional enough, If you can, Please call the Thomas 2 translator, To Here Speak.

Since you started this vote, then run it.  However I don't think it makes any sense, no matter what the result will be.
Comment 18 00 2019-03-30 07:26:38 UTC
The correct approach:
1. Use around the world↵.("↵" = "Enter" The symbol above the button)
2. Only the English version uses ¶, Other places use ↵.
3. Let the user customize the symbol, Push the problem to the user.

3 practices, choose one.

Other practices, It must be an error.
Comment 19 V Stuart Foote 2019-03-30 16:01:35 UTC
The typesetters Pilcrow  - ¶ (U+00B6) shape evolved from the Capitulum - ⸿ (U+2E3F). Use of the Downward Arrow with Corner Leftwards - ↵ (U+21B5) symbol marking on the Enter key is a cross over to computer keyboards from electric typewriter marketing.

The Unicode CLDR does not address locale preference for "paragraph markings", nor has it been covered in published Unicode UAX (#24, #29, #38, #50).

Its use in LibreOffice is strictly decorative--what to label the show/hide formatting button, likewise how to "decorate" paragraph ends on VCL canvas when shown.

It could be changed to be more culturally appropriate, but rather than the ↵ (U+21B5) arrow--seems the IDEOGRAPHIC NUMBER ZERO - 〇 might be the more appropriate choice for the CJK locales.

Would require dynamic glyph on the button, and ability to customize from expert configuration or a widget on the Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages panel.

A lot of work for what is a marginal enhancement.

IMHO => WF

Sorry, that is the IDEOGRAPHIC NUMBER ZERO - 〇 (U+3007) from the CJK Symbols and Punctuation Unicode block.

I don't think if there is anything "culturally appropriate" here.  U+3007 has never been used as "paragraph markings" in any CJK digital documents or editors AFAIK.

The reporter insist using Corner Leftwards - ↵ (U+21B5) because "it is the symbol of Enter" which applies "paragraph markings" -- kinda ridiculous to me.  So I suggest we can stop the discussion and close it as WONTFIX.

You are totally wrong.

"The symbol above the Enter button" is an independent thing. It has nothing to do with anything.
As long as the keyboard releases the "new format", "The symbol above the Enter button", It will change.
↵=“Format” on the keyboard
Because it is "format", So be sure to use it.

When you press the "A" button on the keyboard, "A" will appear on the screen.
When you press the "Enter button" on the keyboard, "↵" will appear on the screen.
Is there a problem?



In the URL below, The Chinese place is wrong, 〇 (U + 3007) is not a "paragraph symbol", The symbol is also wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilcrow

〇 (U + 3007)=. (U +3002) Chinese Period
. (U +3002) Chinese Period =. (U +002E) English Period

Chinese has no paragraph symbol, If you must explain the Chinese paragraph symbol, It is "the beginning of the sentence, the space is 2 characters".

I didn't write, Enter=paragraph symbol, You made a mistake.
What I wrote is, Enter= ↵.

In the Western world
Enter= ↵
Paragraph symbol = ¶
So in the Western world, You can use ↵ or ¶.

In the eastern world
Enter= ↵
There is no "paragraph symbol" in the Eastern world.
So in the Eastern world, Only use ↵.

Do you understand, Enter= ↵, It is something that is common all over the world.

Currently in the Eastern world, Only LibreOffice uses ¶, Other Offices use ↵.



Because it must be revised on a large scale, So don’t want to do it, This is the wrong approach.

70% vote for keeping the pilcrow. On the French Twitter channel [1] we have 40/20 for pilcrow/arrow and 37% for make it optional. This plus all the comments support the decision to not change the pilcrow.
