When feasible, would it make sense to replace plot changing symbols like ***, or ---, with the words "asterisk, asterisk,asterisk" or "dash, dash, dash" when validating?

I usually replace bullets for a * when I come across then, and they don't scan well. Some books use stars, and I saw one book once that used a + to show a plot change. Shelley L.

The book is not broken into chapters, but has a flower of some sort to signify that the plot has changed. What would be the best character to use for the Daisy format and BRF formats of the book? When scanning using Kurzweil 1000, there is just a blank line, but do I need to put stars or something to signify the plot change? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
