⁂ The* * * Is a flat version, because typewriters and about 100 years later computers (and their printers) didn't have the ⁂ symbol.aAster means Star. This is an Asterisk *, a star. Do read what I actually wrote. Some think a Dinkus is a synomyn for a "flat asterism", but it's any simple device that may be a scene break. Also carefully read what you look up! Quote:
An ornate dinkus, if suggestive of foliage, is called a Fleuron (French). The * * * has been accepted as a flat asterism since the 1870s (Commercial Typing Machines in 1874). A typewriter was originally the person whose job was to use a "Typing Machine". Actual typesetting was 400 years older in the west and much earlier in China.

Just because it's always been done a certain way does not mean it's not possible to do it better.

Seems to work good. Have not tried it on dedicated hardware.
