Is there such a thing as a sentence sign?

Question

Many of us are familiar with the section sign (§) and the paragraph sign or pilcrow (¶), but is there a sign, symbol, or mark meant to denote a sentence?

Potentially, such a mark could be used for precise citations, but I'm not really asking with any use-case in mind. I'm just itching to know if there is such a symbol, no matter how obscure!

I bring up the subject of citation because it is concise and referential. For instance, how can we refer to [sentence]5within ¶2 of §4.3?

While not yet in usage I suggest this symbol: http://composedbytheword.com/2014/03/20/proposed-symbol-for-sentence/
Here is an archive link and text of this post for future reference:

In my cursory (internet) search I could not seem to find a symbol that means “sentence”.
I was typing an email, had put “2-3¶s” for shorthand and also wanted to put “3-4[symbol for sentence]s” but no symbol was to be found (and it wouldn’t be recognizable/understood anyway).

How about it Unicode?
