Just noticed there is a example in Simplified Chinese.
I believe that both in Simplified and Traditional Chinese, leader are using "⋯"[MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS]. Especially in vertical writing books.[1]

In movable type, the solution is :
自左拾遺移官華州又離
輾轉至同谷時期的詩作⋯⋯四十二
But in books now it always be:
自左拾遺移官華州又離
⋯⋯四十二
輾轉至同谷時期的詩作
Both are ok, and when meet long heading like this, editor always asks to split the heading into 2 line.
