Which dividers always render
A scene break is only useful if every reader sees it. The safe set uses a semantic HTML rule or plain characters inside a paragraph. Start there, and always inspect the destination preview.
The symbol dividers use characters like the diamond, the snowflake, and the fleuron. Most modern fonts include them, but some devices show an empty box instead, so they carry a note. Copy one, preview a chapter on your phone and on the Royal Road app, and keep it only if it draws cleanly.

Questions about this tool
How do I paste a scene break into Royal Road?
Open your chapter, switch to source-code view, put the cursor where the scene changes, and paste the snippet. Return to the visual editor, centre an ornament if you like, and inspect the result.
Which dividers are safest?
The horizontal rule, three stars, three dashes, and the full line use semantic HTML or ordinary characters, so they lead the gallery and are the safest place to start.
Why do some symbol dividers carry a note?
The midline dots, diamonds, asterism, snowflake, fleuron, and bold triple use special characters. Some devices and reading apps show an empty box for them, so each is marked as varying by device. Preview a chapter on your phone before you rely on one.
Can I make a chapter title divider?
Yes. Type a title and the chapter header snippet updates, with its text escaped. A blank title falls back to Chapter One.
