Here are a couple I’ve used:

—∗—
—›–•–‹—
—»·›–•–‹·«—

Aside from the Asterisk Operator, these are all Unicode symbols from the General Punctuation block—em- and en-dashes, bullets, middle-dots, and angle quotation marks—and should be present in any text font. Unfortunatly this code

hr.fancy { border: none; text-align: center; }
hr.fancy:after { content: "—»·›–•–‹·«—"; }

is not nearly as well-supported in EPUB readers as is using images.

If you’re embedding the right font, take a further look at the various Unicode symbols blocks.
