The symbol on Aaron Turon's thesis title page

Question

I want to create the symbol Aaron Turon used as a vertical separator on his thesis title page. I think it is typeset like normal text and is not an external Image. It looks like two integral symbols rotated into a horizontal shape. This is his Thesis.

And this is the titlepage:

Does anyone know how to typeset the symbol?

This one looks like adforn n° 21:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{adforn}

\begin{document}

\adforn{21}

\end{document}

You might also want to take a look at PGFOrnament and PSVectorian.

Just for fun, use @PhelypeOleinik nice answer for your work

You can indeed construct such a symbol from integral signs:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\title{title}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\begin{center}
\scalebox{2}{\rotatebox{-50}{$\int$}\kern-0.95em\rotatebox{-50}{$\int$}}
\end{center}

text

\end{document}

@bananabombo You could also use the violin holes of Antonio Stradivari instead: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/439212/using-tikz-to-create-a-custom-word-which-combines-an-svg-image-and-text :) – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Oct 16 '18 at 13:25
