Tilde.

 Alternatively referred to as the squiggly or twiddle, the tilde is a character ( ~ ) on keyboards below the Esc (escape key). It is on the same key as the back quote that resembles a squiggly line. The graphic gives a representation of how the tilde character may appear when typed.

 

Where is the tilde key on the keyboard?

Below is an overview of a computer keyboard with the tilde key highlighted in blue.
