Since as long as I can remember, on Windows there is something called "Alt [Key Numeric] Codes", which allows you to enter many symbols that are not directly accessible via a single key, cf.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_codes For lists of Alt codes, see for instance http://www.usefulshortcuts.com/alt-codes/ You find the code for 'tilde' at: http://www.usefulshortcuts.com/alt-codes/punctuation-alt-codes.php For instance, to enter a 'tilde', press 'Alt' at the same time as your type '1', '2', '6' on the *numeric keypad* on your keyboard, then release 'Alt'. Another examples, is Alt + '6', '5', which generates upper case 'A'. Note that it has to be on the numeric keypad (often to the right of the keyboard), the "regular" keys 1 to 0 on the top will not do. If you have a laptop without a numeric keypad, you typically have the option via a "Fn key" + "NmLk" (or similar) to turn part of the keyboard into a numeric keypad. Disclaimer: I guess, depending on you locale (language settings) some keycodes might come out differently, but I am quite sure that all code between 0-127 will work all over the world.
