A paragraph marker is nonprinting. The paragraph character (U00B6) will
print.

Also, the paragraph character (aka pilcrow) is just a normal character like
any other letter, number, punctuation, etc. - you can delete it without
affecting other text (other than changing the flow). The parag marker, on the
other hand, contains all of the formatting for that paragraph. If you delete
it, that paragraph will be joined to the following one, and take on its
style.
