Please add `∼` (tilde operator) and `≁` (not tilde) #140

They used to express similarity and dissimilarity of two shapes. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia Tilde Operator - Unicode Character Table Not Tilde - Unicode Character Table

The normal tilde key on my keyboard looks really small in asciimath. Tilde - Unicode Character Table

~ is already an asciimath symbol which is converted to the unicode \u223C when generating mathml. That was added 2 years ago, and it looks like the most recent MathJax 2 and 3 support them, but not the older version still being used on asciimath.org.

As for "not tilde", there have been several requests for similar additional symbols. Keep in mind that even if they are added here, it will be months or years before MathJax adds them; it might be easier to modify your mathjax config to add the symbols you want.

Oh, I see. So it's already included. Thank you for your help!
