A diacritical mark (˜) placed over the letter n in Spanish to indicate the palatal nasal sound (ny), as in cañon, or over a vowel in Portuguese to indicate nasalization, as in lã, pão.
A symbol used in Windows, starting with Windows 95, that maintains a short version of a long file or directory name for compatibility with Windows 3.1 and DOS. For example, the short version of a file named "Letter to Joe" would be LETTER~1. Then "Letter to Pat" becomes LETTER~2. In the Unix world, all the popular Unix shells (except for the Bourne shell) support a home directory name substitution using the tilde. Also called a "squiggle" or "twiddle," the symbol is used as a prefix to a user login name to specify that user's home directory. For example, if your user name were "jackson," you would use ~jackson to refer to your home directory. The tilde symbol is a Spanish accent that turns the letter "n" into a "nyeh" sound such as in the word mañana, which is pronounced "mah-nyah-nah" and means "morning" or "tomorrow." The tilde is also used as a mathematical symbol that means the difference between two values or an equivalency between two values. The tilde can also be used as an abbreviation to indicate approximation. ~50 = "approximately 50." It is technically supposed to be two tildes, one over the other, but it has become common to simply use the one symbol. Also, the tilde is used in Symbolic Logic to indicate a "not" value. ~A = "not A." A --> ~B = "If A, then not B"
~ is the tilde key.
Depending on what type of keyboard you have, the Tilde key can be found at the top left, below the Escape key. By pressing both the Shift key and the Tilde key produces '~'.
its this key ~ but no one knows how to activate it!
To type the symbol that looks like a wave (∼), you can use the tilde key on your keyboard which is usually located to the left of the number 1 key. Press and hold the shift key while pressing the tilde key.

press shift and the top left key under the escape key, the tilde key.
It really depends on your keyboard. On US keyboard layouts, the tilde key (~) is to the left of the 1 key. On UK layouts, it's next to enter. However, if you're asking because you're trying to open the console, then always try the key to the left of 1, regardless of whether it's the tilde or not.

try the tilde over the right hand shift key, if that doesnt work try the key directly above tab to open the console
