For the symbol itself, my suggestion was a very elongated version of ⌟,
meant to recall the plain separator inset. But, a character that
would match the meaning would be the pilcrow sign (¶). One would just
have to make sure the a grey pilcrow sign (from end-of-paragraph marks)
is not displayed after a red pilcrow sign because this would look weird
(although could be allowed as a temporary measure). On the other hand,
what was the idea behind your suggestion of ↔ ?
The symbol should not be too large, because it can also appear at the
end of a line when importing old documents, so that the appearance
would be ugly. The ↔ is simply a symbol that cannot be exchanged with
the newline one and also gives the idea of a separator, although it
probably fails to convey the concept that it introduces a blank line
in the latex output.
What about a symbol like the attached one? It resembles a pilcrow with a left 
pointing arrow.


It's better than what we have now at least :) However I am not so fan of
hand drawn symbols. I have failed to find anything coming close to that
symbol in Unicode. I find that the left pointing arrow removes rather
than adds. But it's better.

Maybe ¶ does not grow on you as it did on me, but ultimately it is going
to be your call.


and of course we don't want to rely upon color,
especially red.


I am sceptical about this statement. Can you please develop? A contrast
between a light color and a dark color is sufficient for every
kind of color impairment.
