波形符是您可能不经常使用的符号之一,但当您需要它时,您就需要它。无论您是想在其他语言中对字母进行重音还是显示近似值,我们都会向您展示如何在Mac上键入波形符。
使用波形符键
如果您只想输入数学方程式或近似金额的波浪号符号,则可以使用Mac 键盘上的波浪号键。
按住Shift 键(Shift),然后按反引号(Back Quote)键。它位于键盘左上角Esc键下方,您可以在该键的后引号上方看到波形符。

注意:在国际键盘布局(例如英国键盘)上,该键位于 Z 键的左侧,如下面的屏幕截图所示。

使用字符查看器
与Windows上的字符映射表(Character Map)一样,您可以使用macOS 上的字符查看器(Character Viewer on macOS)来查找所需的特殊字符。如果您想使用带或不带字母的波浪号,只需将其拖到笔记或文档中即可。
- 要打开字符查看器(Character Viewer),请从菜单栏中选择Edit > Emoji和符号” ,或使用键盘快捷键(Symbols)Command + Control + Space。

- 当查看器显示时,在搜索(Search)框中输入波形符。您将在结果列表中看到波浪号以及使用波浪号符号的字母。

- 只需(Simply)将波形符或字母拖到您想要的位置,或双击将其插入到光标位置。

然后,您可以像Mac(Mac)上的任何其他窗口一样使用左上角的 X关闭字符查看器(Character Viewer)。
使用键盘快捷键
您还可以使用键盘快捷键(use a keyboard shortcut)来键入波形符。使用此方法,您可以单独键入波形符,也可以将其放在字母上以表示重音,例如 N 表示西班牙语(Spanish),A 表示葡萄牙语(Portuguese)。
按住Option键和字母 N。当您看到波形符出现时,使用Enter键保存它。

要向字母添加波形符,请直接在Option + N.之后键入该字母。例如,要在字母 A 上键入重音符号,您需要按住Option + N,释放两个键,然后键入 A。

要将重音字母变为大写,请在键入时按住Shift键。(Shift)例如,要在大写字母 A 上键入重音符号,您可以按住Option + N,松开两个键,按住Shift,然后键入 A。

使用快捷菜单
如果您只想使用波形符来重音字母,您还可以使用(to accent a letter)Mac上的重音快捷菜单。
按住键盘上要用波形符重音的字母。当您看到快捷菜单出现在字母上方时,请使用鼠标或触控板选择该字母,或输入与带波形符的字母相对应的数字。

How to Type the Tilde Symbol on Your Mac
A tilde is one of those symbols you may not use often, but when you need it, you need it. Whether you wаnt to accеnt a letter in another language or ѕhow an approximation, we’ll show you how to type the tilde symbol on Mac.
Use the Tilde Key
If you simply want to type the tilde symbol, for a mathematical equation or an approximate amount, you can use the tilde key on your Mac keyboard.
Press and hold Shift, then press the Back Quote key. This is on the upper left of your keyboard below the Esc key and you can see the tilde above the back quote on the key.

Note: On an international keyboard layout such as a U.K. keyboard, this key is to the left of the Z key as shown in the screenshot below.

Use the Character Viewer
Like the Character Map on Windows, you can use the Character Viewer on macOS to find the special character you want. If you want to use the tilde sign with or without a letter, you can simply drag it to your note or document.
- To open the Character Viewer, either select Edit > Emoji & Symbols from the menu bar or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Control + Space.

- When the viewer displays, type tilde into the Search box. You’ll see the tilde in the list of results along with letters using the tilde symbol.

- Simply drag the tilde or letter to the spot where you want it or double-click to insert it in your cursor’s location.

You can then close the Character Viewer using the X on the top left like any other window on Mac.
Use a Keyboard Shortcut
You can also use a keyboard shortcut to type the tilde. With this method, you can type the tilde on its own or place it over a letter for an accent such as an N for Spanish or A for Portuguese.
Press and hold the Option key and letter N. When you see the tilde appear, use your Enter key to save it.

To add that tilde to a letter, type that letter directly following Option + N. For instance, to type the accent over the letter A, you’d press and hold Option + N, release both keys, and type A.

To make the letter with the accent uppercase, hold the Shift key as you type it. For example, to type the accent over the uppercase letter A, you’d press and hold Option + N, release both keys, hold Shift, and type A.

Use the Shortcut Menu
If you only want to use the tilde to accent a letter, you can also use the accent shortcut menu on Mac.
Press and hold the letter on your keyboard that you want to accent with a tilde. When you see the shortcut menu appear above the letter, select the letter with your mouse or trackpad or enter the number corresponding to the letter with the tilde.
