A "soft carriage return" would be word wrap, which is not indicated by any symbol. In addition to line breaks (bent arrows) and paragraph breaks (pilcrows), there are also text wrapping breaks, but they are very distinctive (bent arrow between two uprights), so they're unlikely to be at issue here. -- Suzanne S.
