The expression 'Happy as a pig in a shirt' is completely meaningless. Just a way of avoiding the fact that real old Anglo Saxon words are out there (well Middle English / Middle Dutch / Old High German, take your pick. 

Also, who made up the rule that using an asterisk in written English is supposed to be interpreted as a late 20th century / early 21st computer operating system wild card?

The 'Happy as a pig in sh*t' sentiment is thoroughly well documented. Try this for one...

If you put a star there then the characters can be anything.

If you insist on being crass but hiding behind a wildcard you must write

Pig in sh?t
