No. Read
WebAIM's page on alt text.
Decorative images, like fleurons, should be empty.
Side Note: If you want everything there is to know about describing images in your files, I'd also recommend the 3-part series/webinar by DAISY:
That's over 3 hours of Georgia Institute of Technology tackling all these different use-cases + describing how they create Accessible images for their students.
Side Note #2: JSWolf, I'd recommend rereading this thread from the beginning. You bumped it 2 years later,
but you seem to have forgotten all the alt discussion happening in this very same thread.
