Today, having a tilde in front of your name is especially problematic because Apple computers don't have it on their keyboard*.
As you know, multiuser Unix machines use "~" as a shortcut to the "/users" directory and in the beginning all users were the same.

and the tilde file should then be created in that directory instead of on the desktop.
This won't solve the problem, of course, but it puts the file where you don't have to be bothered by it and, since you know where it is, can recover it if need be.

Users will be confused when the ligature or double tilde appears correctly on the library system, but not when the bibliographic record is downloaded to a different environment.
After LC noticed the problem in its Voyager system, Microsoft was asked to modify the font being used so that the halves would be positioned correctly over their base characters.
