What symbol indicates a reference to another page?

Question

Historically, or in current common usage, are there any typography symbols which have the meaning "see page" or "refer to page", which can be placed near the page number?

Answer 1

Such page references are most commonly contained in parentheses, as @user568458 alluded to in the comments. This can change with the context. Here are two examples from my camera manual:

In Auto Exposure mode, exposure is also locked in this case (page 54).

and

With a moving subject, the camera ... as long as the shutter release button is kept lightly pressed (Focus Tracking, page 68).

This is used to reference a specific function (Auto Exposure Mode) or the parent topic (Focus Tracking) related to what you were just talking about. For something with a broader scope, such as the bear text, you would typically see that italicized at the end (or beginning) of the text.

This text is at the end of the article about bears. See also, Koalas (p. 15)
