I would prepare the paragraph with the fleuron as you want it, including all styles. Then copy the fleuron to the pasteboard. Then, in Find/Change, find the text <fleuron> and replace with the contents of the clipboard, formatted (the control code is ^c).

Change all, and all the <fleurons> will be replaced with nicely formatted real fleurons.

If you ever need to change anything, it shouldn’t be too hard if you’ve used a special paragraph style for this paragraph…
