I didn‘t have a word to share from my reading today, but then I stumbled across a short video from Merriam-Webster about expletive infixation that included the definition of grawlix. This led me to an article with a bit more history of grawlixes, so I‘m sharing with the rest of you. Links in comments ⬇️
grawlix: a string of typographical symbols used in place of an obscenity, especially in comic strips (noun)
