These marks happen all over the place in the LC. They occur when the 
last word of a line quite doesn't make it to the edge of the column. I 
assume their purpose is insure that one doesn't think that its a 
paragraph break. But there are different glyphs used, and I am wondering 
what the meaning of these glyphs are.

I re-posted and rephrased my question as you have suggested.
