No, the encoding of the email got messed up, somehow.  The 
line in the file is

(''S'' ''Make \237'' (emulate-keyboard ''S-F5 p'')) ?

Ok, agreed.

Good point.  The symbol-unicode-math.scm file defines

("<paragraph>"  "#A7")

and I confused <paragraph> with \S, as \S is sometimes is 
referred to as a paragraph symbol, other times as a section 
symbol.  So that answers my second question, the  
symbol-unicode-math.scm has nothing to do with the \S issue.

Thanks.
