it means approximately to most people
ex: ~5 people (approx 5 people)
if it were at the end of the word it wouldn't mean much to me.

If at a beginning of a number for example ~5 minutes, it would mean... Approximately 5 minutes.
If at the end of a work for example Hiya~ you would hold the A sounding ....At least that's what I see it as.

Its a fancy hyphen and is used to separate phrases or parts of words. Some typesets are fancy and they use fancy hyphens as well. That is what this is, most likely from the signature font or a similar one.
