!Tilde "~"
Advantages:
* Used on:
** JSPWiki
* Has semantic connotation wit "not", which might suggest the meaning when seen
* Pretty rare in normal text (but not unused)
Disadvantages:
* Not available on many [Keyboards]
* Hard to type under Microsoft Windows
* Excluded in [Terms]
* Traditionally used in text as an alternative to hyphen (eg. in number ranges) or meaning "roughly".
* The exact way of escaping is not obvous (eg. compare {{{~ ~}}}}}} vs {{{~ }~ }~ }}}})
* Used in programming languages for operators -- pasted code would need escaping, or could change its meaning.
* Conflicts:
** Confluence for user link,
** Netcipia, SnipSnap, XWiki for italics,
** GeboGebo for monospace,
** TracWiki, MoniWiki for strike,
** Confluence, FlexWiki, Instiki, TiddlyWiki, VQWiki for subscript,
** WikkaWiki for bullet list.

Disadvantages:

* Used in programming languages for escaping -- pasted code would need double escaping, or could look bad.
