Is the Unicode character U+203B used this way in Japanese? The note in the charts says it's used as a paragraph separator in Urdu.
Syloti Nagri has a set of marks used to demarcate stanzas and poetic meters. Since most extant Sylheti manuscripts are poetry, there may not be any clear traditional precident for what should be done in prose. I don't know if poetical use is close enough for what you're interested in.
