The ~ key is above the tab key in most keyboards. If you are looking for the ~ on top of the N for the Spanish letter ñ there is no specific key.

The ñ can be typed in most fonts on a PC (Windows) computer by pressing and holding the ALT key then pressing the numbers 164 on the key pad to the right of the keyboard (not the numbers above the letters). Ñ is done with ALT+165

On a Mac computer, press and hold the ALT key then press n then release the ALT key and press n again for the ñ. Press SHIFT N for the Ñ.

In some languages there are tildes above other letters. There are similar codes for these letters.

The tilde key (~) is a symbol key on a computer keyboard. It is typically located on the upper left side of the keyboard, below the escape key (ESC) and above the Tab key. The tilde character can be used in various ways, such as representing the home directory in a file path or as a diacritical mark in some languages.
