The 'squiggly' in question ~ is called a tidle. Don't ask me what it's for though! Or how I know ;) Thanks for the post! Good resource to have.

I don't mean to nitpick, but it's a tiLDe, not a tiDDLy. That's why the word might be hard to Google.
No you're absolutely right to nitpick. I realized my error afterwards but never got around to correcting it.
LOL! Thank you! I tried to just Google the character, but that didn't work.
I'm going to go up and edit it and give you credit. I also found out, it's not always in the same place on a keyboard. 😯
Thanks for stoppin' by!

Thank you!!! :)
In common usage the tilde means 'approximately'. eg. '~10 hrs ago' = 'approximately 10 hrs ago'
Tildes appear in many places, but most famously in Spanish (señor = mister), above the letter N: Ñ, ñ (Pronounced like N+Y): Ñ (Wikipedia article gives more info)
