Tilde

The tilde (/ˈtɪldeɪ, -di, -də, ˈtɪld/) ˜ or ~, is a grapheme with a number of uses. The name of the character came into English from Spanish, which in turn came from the Latin titulus, meaning 'title' or 'superscription'. Its primary use is as a diacritic (accent) in combination with a base letter; but, for historical reasons, it is also used in standalone form within a variety of contexts.

This article is about the punctuation and diacritical mark. For the Swedish singer, see Tilde (singer).
"~" redirects here. For the album, see ~ (album).
