What is the word used the describe the set of characters used to replace a deleted explicative, such as "%#*&"

To clarify, I don't want guesses as to what "%#*&" might stand for. I want to know if there is a term used for collection of random symbols used to replace an explicative.

A masked expletive? I've found some references to the term but I'm not sure how commonly used it is.
