"not" is often denoted in ASCII as "!", and a little less often as "~".

Why the hell would you use ~? That already is used for a fair number
of things that you wouldn't to confuse with 'not' (such as proportional
to, isomorphic to, approximately). That seems like a rather stupid
overloading.

Most probably people with way more math (math logic) background than
computer science background would use ~. Because ! doesn't look
even remotely like the sign they would rather use if they weren't
constrained by ASCII, while ~ sorta does.
