Reply With QuoteThe easiest approach would be to open /Applications/Utilities/Keycaps (or whatever it might be named in the Italian release,) and start pressing various modifier combinations until you spot a tilde. That's usually how I find some obscure symbol.

Tilde = Alt - What ? There is no tilde in italian keyboard. Thus, tilde = what as alt - something ?
I know these but not tilde itself ...
alt-e for ´ >>> á é í ó ú ´
-i for ˆ >>> â ê î ô û ˆ
-u for ¨>>>> ä ë ï ö ü ¨
-n for ˜ >>> ã ñ õ ˜
-` for ` >>>> à è ì ò ù `
also. in the italian kb .. there is ' but not to the other direction ...

Well, if a keystroke does exist for your current layout, then Keycaps is a surefire way to find it.

Just as a reminder: This sure beats the hell out of ALT+255 char code.
