Unicode has charts, where you can lookup the characters. For search by 
number http://www.unicode.org/charts/ or 
http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html for search by name.

If you only know how it looks like, try http://shapecatcher.com/


  Some people think "~" is a tilde.

My Editor tells me, that in the arrived mail it is U+00FE and that is 
"TILDE".

Perhaps you should sent the mail in UTF-8?

  (Hint: it's a swung dash.)
A 'swung dash' is U+2053. Perhaps your font for emails has it, otherwise 
you will see a placeholder: SWUNG DASH ⁓
"DejaVu Sans" has it.
