About decorative symbols
Decorative symbols are the typesetterβs toolbox: ornamental asterisks and florets β β₯ β from Dingbats, reference marks like β β‘ and β» for footnotes, the section sign Β§ and pilcrow ΒΆ from legal and editorial writing, and a range of quotation marks and brackets.
The brackets are especially handy online. Lenticular brackets γ γ, tortoise-shell brackets γ γ and corner brackets γ γ come from East Asian typography, where they mark titles and emphasis; in English posts they frame a label or a name without looking like code. Pair ornaments with the Calligraphy or Old English generators for a formal look.
