What are those sun symbols after paragraph ends. Always found them interesting.

  Well they are sun symbols. I guess if you are asking how are they produced, they are embedded SVG in the CSS at https://gwern.net/static/css/style.css https://gwern.net/static/css/style.css see for instance --GW-image-sun-verginasun-black-svg

    Do they have a special name? I haven’t seen them in books.

      they probably do, I've seen that kind of thing (a logo) placed throughout the text before now, but more of a fancy print rather than cheap paperbacks. In the old days it would have cost more, but since DTP took over then I don't see why that would be a problem. perhaps just "paragraph divider", eg https://www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/12217904-collection-set-of-hand-drawn-dividers-template-perfect-for-wedding-text-decoration https://www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/12217904-collection-set-...
