Printer's ornamental flourish
Fleuron (typography)
A fleuron (), also known as a printers' flower, is a typographical symbol, or glyph, used either as a punctuation mark or as an ornament for typographic compositions. Fleurons are stylized forms of flowers or leaves; the term derives from the Old French: floron ('flower'). Robert Bringhurst in The Elements of Typographic Style calls the forms "horticultural dingbats". A commonly encountered fleuron is the ❦, the floral heart or hedera (ivy leaf), also known as an aldus leaf after Italian Renaissance printer Aldus Manutius.
