Method 2
If you’re using HTML, you can just type in (≈) and it will display the character. If you’re posting in a forum, it will depend if it’s smart enough to interpret that or not.

Method 4
You can also use Microsoft Word -> Menu -> Insert -> Symbols. They have a version of the approximate symbol on the chart.
