Replace with ~
editI feel as if this template would be more useful if was repalced with ~ as the template seams to be used infrequently and I think replacing it with this would make it more useful.

~ as abbreviation for approximately where space is tight
editI think {{~}} should produce a ~ and a foot?note or ~ to say this means approximately for situations like tables where c. may not be clear and space is too limited for approx. It is a widely used mathematical symbol for approximately but perhaps some non mathematicians will not be aware of this. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Abbreviations#Miscellaneous_shortenings and talk page for discussion (or rather lack thereof). crandles (talk) 13:46, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
