Wave dash

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wave dash (〜, Unicode U+301C) is a fullwidth character represented in Japanese character encoding, usually used to represent a range.

Vertical wave dash (Wave DashV.svg) also exists, but is not encoded in Unicode.

Wave dash is also written in vertical text layout. Vertical wave dash is the vertical form by rotation and flip in Unicode and JIS C 6226.[1][2]
