The tilde is a grapheme which has several uses, described below. The name of the character comes from Spanish, from the Latin titulus meaning a title or superscription, and is pronounced "TILL-duh" (IPA ) or "TILL-day". It was originally written over a letter as a diacritic (see below), but has since acquired a number of other uses as a character in its own right. In this capacity (especially in lexicography) it is also sometimes known as the swung dash (usually lengthened to ⁓).

Tilde, like is used on either the n in Spanish pinon (a type of nut, pronounced pin-yon) or in mathematical expressions, to mean "about", or "more or less"

That's called a tilde. It's just another character you can type with, it's not any special function or anything.
