[OS X TeX] TeXShop tilde not behaving

[Alan Litchfield]

Thanks Herb,

That was what I was trying to get but the keyboard was not giving it to me. Sorted now. 

Using “US International - PC”, to get the required character, hit a space after each of ~ ^ “ ‘  :)

Instead, I got a ? in the PDF output and the tilde in the source was changed to ? after running LaTeX. Then I changed the input in TeXShop to UTF8 and the ? changed to ËIJ, so I added \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}. Then I got the tilde, ˜, instead of a non-breaking space :/
