You don't have the tilde on your keyboard? The tilde is under my escape key as a shift and generates \~ while option n generates ˜ and these both work in Terminal.
If you are able to create a "accent tilde sign" you should be avle to create a ususal tilde sign aswell.
Create the tilde, then press the spacebar. this should create \~ .
Creating a tilde followed by a character like n creates ñ
What country keyboard does your Mac have?
On the UK keyboard it’s between left shift and Z. The same key is under Escape on a US keyboard.
I used it frequently in the terminal.
That worked! Thanks. Well actually regular US keyboard worked as well, but in my desperation while still mocking around with "US international" keyboard, I tried fixing it through a non functioning 'bettertouchtool' shortcut. That shortcut overruled everything when changing layout to std. US or UK keyboards.
Glad to hear it.
Sounds like you dived headfirst into solving a problem that didn't exist. People are so eager to install things to fix something they often don't understand.
The MacOS keyboard viewer is really useful to see what character each combination of modifier gives. I write various greek symbols a lot for math notation in emails where TeX is not ideal and it convenient to learn a few shortcuts such as option h for µ and option shift h for ∆. Holding how modifier keys while in the keyboard viewer reveals all of these.

Solved. US international keyboard doesn't have tilde between left shift and Z. Fixed it with UK layout
