   1. A diacritical mark (˜) placed above a letter to modify its pronunciation, such as by palatalization in Spanish words or nasalization in Portuguese words.
      • 2021, Claire Cock-Starkey, Hyphens & Hashtags, Bodleian Library, page 162:

        The tilde was used similarly in Portuguese on vowels to show that the letter bearing the tilde should be pronounced nasally.

   3. May be used to represent approximation (mathematics).
2. (logic) The character used to represent negation, usually ~ or ¬.

Commonly used for these letters: ã and õ (Portuguese), and ñ (Spanish); Vietnamese, Guaraní etc. use it for several other letters.
