DM is correct - I just checked four different printed editions of the KJV in our house, and they all have Pilcrows as part of the text. One of them had a distinctly different typeface appearance for this character, but it was definitely there in all the right places.
It may be noted in passing that a majority of digital versions of the KJV on the world wide web actually omit the Pilcrows, which means that, in this respect at least, they are not being as faithful as they should. Probably these are also editions which don't use italics for the interpolated words. In the book "The Authorized Edition of the English Bible (1611) - Its Subsequent Reprints and Modern Representatives" by F.H.A. Scrivener (1884), I could not find any reference to pilcrows, nor even a hint about these in the section (IV) about "Its punctuation". -- David David Haslam wrote: > > And if you didn't already know, the name of this symbol is the Pilcrow. > > The pilcrow sign is ¶ (U+00B6).
