What the #$@&%*! is that called?

Question

Is there a name for the use of symbols in place of curse words, for example `#$@&%*!`?

Answer 1

A GRAWLIX replaces swear words or obscenities with typographical symbols. It comes from comics and cartoons. It's sort of a visual euphemism that utilizes a nonsensical string of symbols rather than an alternative word or phrase to avoid the offensive term.
