Added a line to replace a symbol that doesn't appear on Rakuten kobo eReaders #39

The symbol "⊙" which is used to split sections within chapters in Ward doesn't appear on Kobo readers.
I added a line to replace it with a "■" which is what is used in Worm.

I'm really hesitant to do this, unfortunately. Previously, I replaced all scene breaks with a uniform <hr> element, but I removed that once it became clear that the choice of scene break typography was a deliberate choice by the author: e.g., in Ward, the number of ⊙s varied, and sometimes there were ☽s.

Is there any way you know of to workaround Kobo's bad support for this character? E.g. different font choices, newer versions of the Kobo software, etc.? Otherwise, my default course of action would be to just leave this as-is, and consider this a Kobo bug that they need to fix on their side. I found some discussions on https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=287362 that make it clear this is a pretty general problem.

Ah interesting! I may have jumped the gun on this fix then, I'm actually only pretty early on in Ward and just assumed ⊙ was used in place of ■. I didn't realize that it was a deliberate choice by the author!

Thanks for letting me know, I'll look into a fix on the Kobo side of things.
