Many people do not know the name "ampersand". No-one knows what "@" is
called.
Unicode has charts, where you can lookup the characters. For search by
number http://www.unicode.org/charts/ or
http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html for search by name.
If you only know how it looks like, try http://shapecatcher.com/
Some people think "~" is a tilde.
My Editor tells me, that in the arrived mail it is U+00FE and that is
"TILDE".

Perhaps you should sent the mail in UTF-8?
(Hint: it's a swung dash.)
A 'swung dash' is U+2053. Perhaps your font for emails has it, otherwise
you will see a placeholder: SWUNG DASH ⁓
"DejaVu Sans" has it.
