Re: Meaning of symbol

[Edith Fuller <efuller@TELEPORT.COM>]

Unabridged dictionaries are wonderful sources of miscellaneous
information -- check the table of contents.

According to the Random House Dictionary of the English Language, 2nd
ed, unabridged, pages 2221, that squiggle that looks like two s's is a
section mark.

Cheers.
