swung dash

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus 0.04 sec.
(character)swung dash - A character similar to tilde but appearing in the same vertical position as a dash, i.e. half way up rather than at the top like tilde. ASCII does not include a swung dash so tilde is used instead.

It is commonly used for "approximates" or "is approximately equal to".
