The "similar to" Sign

Post by sgsawant »

I wanted to say "... magnetic field is ~3T." The similar sign can be written by

Code: Select all

\textasciitilde
OR

Code: Select all

\string~
.

Using both of the above methods, I get the tilde to be near the top of the "3T". I wanted it to appear at about middle height (the way it is shown here). Please let me know.
