The tilde (~) is a small curved symbol that can be combined with letters to change their sound or meaning, particularly in languages like Spanish, and its name comes from a Latin word meaning "title" or "superscription." When used on its own in modern writing, the tilde typically indicates that something is approximate or rough rather than exact.

Die Tilde (~) (spanisch tilde, portugiesisch til, von lateinisch titulus ‚Überschrift‘, ‚Überzeichen‘) ist ein Schriftzeichen in Form einer aus zwei gleich großen Buchten gebildeten waagerechten Wellenlinie. Das Zeichen dient als Satzzeichen, als diakritisches Zeichen sowie als Symbol in einigen Fachsprachen. Zwei Tilden übereinander bilden das Ungefähr-Zeichen (≈).
