Asterism, dinkus or a gap?

My apologies for a slightly frivolous post, but strangely enough my work (related to payroll) indirectly actually led me to read this Wikipedia article.

Now it's just possible I've heard the term asterism (⁂) at some point in the past (it seems vaguely familiar though I don't actually remember it) but I'm fairly certain I'd never heard this:

***

called a dinkus. And since I don't know anyone else that might find this interesting, I'm sharing it here under the excuse of asking whether you use either of these or just a gap between scene breaks.
