Finding Special Symbols for Use in Pages Documents

I'm looking for the "legal paragraph" symbol (you know, the one that looks like two squiggly snakes) for a document I'm typing in Pages. It does not appear in the Character Viewer pop-up window where the emojis and "other symbols" are located. Is the symbol located somewhere else on my MacBook Pro Pages software, or is there a way I can download it as an image to my computer and import it into the document? I haven't done it this way before but I can most likely figure it out. Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Yes, that's the one! I always knew it as the Legal Paragraph symbol, but it's also called the Section mark. I forgot about that. I went to the Character Viewer another way and it was not listed there. I'll try your suggestion about Opt-6 and see what happens. Thank you!


P.S. Yep, Opt-6 worked! The symbol was there.
