It should be reversed so it doesn't look exactly like a normal pilcrow. I like the idea of experimenting with putting it next to a reversed version to evoke Pd, but we'd have to see what that looks like. And it doesn't entirely give up the idea of using a universal quantifier symbol. If you squint you can see a capital Greek Pi next to something that looks like a filled in capital D. Capital Pi is sometimes used for a universal (substitutional) quantifier. So the logically inclined could still think of it this way...
