The "squiggly line" over the n in "señor" (~) is called a tilde, a type of diacritical mark. In Spanish, the ñ is a separate letter of the Spanish alphabet, with a different pronunciation from a regular n. The Spanish ñ has a "ny" sound, while the Spanish regular n is pronounced much the same as in English.
