Strangest thing, but I can't get a tilda ( ~ ) to type out on my N900. It's not available as a character on the hardware keyboard, but you can get to it through the hardware Symbol key, or on the symbol screen of the soft keyboard.

However, in both cases when you press the tilda nothing happens.

Anyone else see this? I had to copy a tilda from the text of a website and paste it into my text entry action to get it to input at all.
