Thanks to all who replied to my request. The first answer is that there is no really easy way to do it. But the following solutions work : 1) Put a tilde on a white space : \~\ 2) Use the number of the character : \char'176 3) Use the mathematical tilde without argument $\tilde{}$ or even, to have roman font : $\rm \tilde{}$ 4) Use the \verb command \verb|~| NB : it gives a \tt tilde not a \rm tilde !!! 5) Sometimes, you may want to use $\sim$ but this gives a large tilde...
