I repoduced this bug using the following components:

Comment 2 juergenkohler23 2021-05-31 08:06:43 UTC 
The bug still exists. The function would be important to keep control over one's own text structure.

The Pilcrow is a non-printing "visual" marker indicating the end of a paragraph.

Screeen readers in fact do respond at that location as they will report precisely the same thing, closing a paragraph to start a new paragraph (when configured to do so).
