The package implements a decorative swelled rule using only a symbol from a font installed with all distributions of TeX, so it works independently, without the need to install any additional software or fonts.

This is the packaged version of the macro which was originally published in the “Typographers’ Inn” column in TUGboat 31:1 (2010).
