Wave dash
In UnicodeU+301C WAVE DASH

Wave dash (U+301C WAVE DASH) is a character represented in Japanese character encoding, usually used to represent a range. The wave dash is similar to, but not the same as, the tilde character (U+FF5E FULLWIDTH TILDE), which is often used interchangeably with it.

The vertical wave dash () is not currently included in Unicode, but there is a similar symbol available called the wavy line (U+2307 WAVY LINE). It is created by rotating right (clockwise) the wavy dash symbol (U+3030 WAVY DASH) to form a vertical wave-like pattern.

Wave dash is also written in vertical text layout. Vertical wave dash is the vertical form by rotation and flip in Unicode and JIS C 6226.[1][2]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
