Sorry, AFAIK there is no way to enter a tilde in stock kicad; I've patched it to handle escapes and an additional font but it's a forked version (I'm using the ISO font instead of the standard one and other things are slightly different...)

Yes, at least on labels two consecutive tildes (~~) gives you a single tilde (~) character with no over bar. I suspect that is the case everywhere else such as component pin names but I'm cannot be 100% sure since I didn't write that code.

Can you help with this problem?
