It all makes sense now. It depends on the mapping of your keyboard (selection of country codes).

What is the proper use for the "tilde" and the other thing the OP asked about? (what is it called again?)

The tilde is used often in PC games ot access the console. But in regular use: Tilde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I only ever use it to represent an approximation, to say "it's around $5" or ~$5.
