Character for missing paragraph

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Thomas Weller on October 5, 2020

I am looking for a character to indicate a missing paragraph. It is used in German schools when correcting essays.

The character is used like this and looks like the red one here (source):

Usage of the missing paragraph sign

I have tried:

  • detexify, but the best results are just rfloor and lceil, where I would need a combination of both
  • googling for latex missing paragraph, which yields a lot of results regarding paragraph, which is not what I need.

I am not looking for ¶ textparagraph, of course.

You can easily construct the symbol using rules

documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
    
usepackage{xcolor}
newcommand*{missingpar}{%
   unskip
   makebox[0.5em][c]{%
      color{red}%
      rule[-.5ex]{.5em}{1pt}%
      rule[-.5ex]{1pt}{2.6ex}%
      rule[dimexpr2.1ex-1ptrelax]{.5em}{1pt}%
      }%
}

begin{document}

ttfamily
bis zum bitteren Zeilenende. missingpar Hier soll ein Absatz eingefügt werden

end{document}
