  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".
