The actual size may change a lot depending on the font, but there’s a nice Unicode symbol for that:

——— <redacted> ———

Update: apparently HN doesn’t like some characters…

Anyway these are the characters: https://unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_2700.html

- 2700 Black Safety Scissors

- 2701 Upper Blade Scissors

- 2702 Black Scissors

- 2703 Lower Blade Scissors

- 2704 White Scissors

Oh that's neat, but I've no problem using the little emoticon style 8< or >8
