How to show ~(tilde) in footnote? [duplicate]

Correctly typesetting a tilde

I can show ~(tilde) in normal text, using text as follows,

\begin{quote}
\verb|~|
\end{quote}

But the problem is when I try to put this in footnote{}. Error will be thrown, how should I do this?

Answer 1

You can use \~{} for a tilde. Example:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
Hi here\footnote{My character is ``\~{}'' and \texttt{I can also typset
it in this font: ``\~{}''}.}.
\end{document}

The group {} is quite important after the \~, otherwise LaTeX will think it's an accent to put on the next character.

Answer 2

How about \textasciitilde ? It works for me.

Answer 3

Just use the \textasciitilde command.

Answer 4

\footnote{foo \~{} bar} works for me. If you want it in \verb style, but a \texttt around.
