Wave dash

Wave dash is a character represented in Japanese character encoding mainly used as a dash and chōonpu. The wave dash is similar to, but not the same as, the tilde character, which is often used interchangeably with it.

The vertical wave dash is not currently included in Unicode, but there is a similar symbol available called the wavy line. It is created by rotating right (clockwise) the wavy dash symbol to form a vertical wave-like pattern.

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.
