Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+0303 "̃" Combining Tilde is a diacritical mark that does not stand alone but is instead designed to be placed over a preceding base character, such as a letter, to modify its pronunciation or meaning. This combining tilde is commonly used in orthographies for languages like Spanish to form the letter "ñ", as well as in phonetic transcription systems to indicate nasalization or other tonal variations. As part of the Unicode standard, it allows for flexible and precise encoding of text by joining with a base character, ensuring that the tilde appears correctly positioned in digital typography without requiring a precomposed glyph.
