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.
Do these same electronic sources actually display the
verse-as-paragraph typesetting of the KJV or do they use the pilcrow
characters to delineate typeset paragraphs? I've seen that done
before with the KJV, though very infrequently.
Every KJV that I have shows each verse starting on a new line, with the
verse number at the beginning of the line. Most do not display the verse
number for verse 1.

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".

And if you didn't already know, the name of this symbol is the Pilcrow.
The pilcrow sign is ¶ (U+00B6). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilcrow

The section sign is § (U+00A7). See

Enjoy learning (I do)!

I'm using KJV Beta (2.4), and have noticed quite a few paragraph
markers (¶) which show up. See Num 16:12 for one example.
Shouldn't these be replaced with osis markup to denote paragraphs?
No, they are part of the text of the KJV.
