Unless this is a bizarre font (always a possibility, since the character seems to represent end-of-cell markers as well), that is a line break, not a paragraph break, and I'm amazed you could get by with that between a page break and a table. But if you want a page break before a table without a paragraph above the table on the page, don't use Ctrl+Enter to insert a manual page break; instead, select the first row of the table and format it as "Page break before" (Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks). This has the added advantage that it doesn't split the table, so any repeated heading row(s) will continue on the new page.
