Hi, Wildcard key is a feature in Chinese input methods. (This has nothing to do with entering asterisks.)
For example, to decompose the traditional character for "country", using the Changjei input method, the decomposition is "wirm". Suppose the user forgot the decomposition, but is sure that it begins with "wi" and ends with "m", using the wildcard key feature, he/she can enter "wi*m", and the system will display all characters whose decomposition begins with "wi" and ends with "m"; the user then can select the correct character. Support for the wildcard key in scim is not good, but it exists; however, in Debian, even when the wildcard key is set, pressing it does not produce any response from the scim system.
