About the swung dash symbol

The swung dash is a punctuation mark shaped like an elongated tilde or wavy line, typically drawn with a gentle curve that can vary in direction. It appears in some dictionaries and reference works as a typographic symbol, often used to represent a range or to indicate a repetition or continuation of a preceding term, similar to a tilde in certain contexts. In older or specialized texts, it may also serve as a ditto mark or a placeholder for a repeated word or phrase.
