The symbols that Microsoft now calls “formatting marks” were previously referred to as “nonprinting characters.” By either name, they are characters that take up space or have a formatting function but do not appear on the printed page: spaces, tab characters, paragraph breaks, and the like. In typesetting, when the Pilcrow has a small hook on the bottom, it can signify run-on paragraphs. My opinion is that it's a stylized Pilcrow signifying a paragraph like a normal Pilcrow.
