About the heavy open centre cross symbol
In medieval manuscripts and early printed books, the heavy open centre cross often marked significant sections of text or served as a decorative divider. It is a variant of the Christian cross symbol, distinguished by its thick, bold outline and hollow interior, which gives it a distinctively ornate appearance. The character belongs to a set of typographic ornaments and symbols, and it is occasionally used in modern design or religious contexts to evoke a traditional or heraldic look.
