# Problem

**When using Source Code Pro, the readability of the tilde symbol (`~`) suffers at 11px on a 102ppi screen, as shown below. Example is the classic Bash prompt.**

Here is the tilde symbol in relation to its _character space_: (I apologize for my amateur terminology here)

**I think the both the tilde and the "almost equals" sign (`≈`) lack sufficient curvature to be readable in the situation I described above.**

# Examples of Solutions

Several other programming fonts have taken special approaches to designing the tilde symbol. Some are Input, Hack, and Iosevka. Screenshots of their designs are shown below:

![IosevkaTilde](https://i.gyazo.com/7d779fa9ab338183f3f58e0c324d1547.png "Still a bit unreadable at small sizes.")

Here is the same Bash prompt in Hack:

# Solution

**In order to fix this issue, I propose an exaggeration of curvature in both `~` and `≈`.** I personally prefer _Hack_'s tilde the best.
