How about asterisk ("*")? It already implies wildcard in regexp and filename
globbing, which makes it an intuitive fit. And in most databases it has
no special meaning and therefore doesn't have to be escaped in a string.

Remember that in the context of a URL path, we shouldn't be thinking of
it as a "database query". That's an internal implementation detail, not
relevant to the site designer.
