Well, since you're talking about your native language and you're fully literate in it, I have to assume you're right, but when I read that I thought you were confusing the tilde (~) with the acute accent (' or ´, like a / above the letter; "acento escrito" en espan~ol se me recuerdo). What do you mean about emphasis? Like underlining in handwritten English? -- Dr. Whom, Consulting Linguist, Grammarian, Orthoepist, and Philological Busybody a.k.a. Mark A.
