About the wave dash symbol
Read as "nami-dasshu" in Japanese or simply "wave dash" in English, this character appears in East Asian text as a punctuation mark. It functions as a lengthened vowel marker in informal Japanese writing, such as elongating sounds like "hai" into "ha〜i" to indicate a drawn-out pronunciation. In Chinese and Japanese contexts, it also serves as a range indicator between numbers or dates, similar to how a tilde or en dash is used in Western typography.
