On a UK QL keyboard, tilde is Shift £

On a UK Windows keyboard with QPC2 it's Shift #

Looks like Online guide Character Set page is wrong. Unless someone knows otherwise.

Of course, the definitive source:

~ is SHIFT £ on a British QL, or CTRL # on a German keyboard.

Not sure about other keyboard layouts

Well, Rich is obviously talking about QL keyboards that have no <AltGr>.
