What ✿ means
Use it as a flower divider, ornament, or bullet.
It adds charm rather than meaning: frame a name with it, string three in a row to split sections, or put one before a list item as a decorative bullet. Copy it from the palette above and it stays crisp text.
The form belongs to the fleuron tradition. Printers cut similar floral ornaments for title pages, chapter endings, fillers, and breaks — so read ✿ as layout punctuation, not botany.
Playful and ornamental; best for profiles, invites, notes, and headings.
Do not use ✿ alone for an important label.

1Why does ✿ show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
