[fakery]

[...] The fakery is probably good. centigrade (or celsius) needs some kerning
between the degree sign and the capital C to look roght. This was the reason
why I added it as a separate symbol to the tc fonts.

The one with the bar is probably the same symbol. The two others have a
strange, old-fashioned look. (The `Pt'-digraph was long persistent on IBM
codepages, but of questionable value).

[pilcrow]

Yes, the logic of the tc fonts is to discriminate pilcrow with one stem and 
paragraph with double stem in order to have them both a differentiated symbols.

If the base font does not provide differentiated pilcrows, the paragraph is 
always the primary symbol (needed for LaTeX footnote symbols).
