I wish keyboards had a generic symbol on the Overview key, rather than
literally the trademarked Microsoft logo. Because that's the obvious thing
to put there.

Failing that, I think there are two symbols that make sense:

  ⋯ dot dot dot. The universal "there is more here". Android previously used a
    double row of dots for its app drawer.

  ☰ "hamburger menu". Yes, it's a cliche, but a familiar one, which is a good
     thing. And apparently the unicode symbol often used to approximate it
     is actually the trigram for Heaven, which is kind of awesome.
