Telecommunication
In telecommunications, a wildcard is a character that may be substituted for any of a defined subset of all possible characters.
- In high-frequency (HF) radio automatic link establishment, the wildcard character "?" may be substituted for any one of the 36 characters, "A" through "Z" and "0" through "9."
- Whether the wildcard character represents a single character or a string of characters must be specified.
