XML Special Character mapping

Question

Hi,
I am new to XML.
Can anyone tell me how to map tilde(~) in XML?
My code is in Java and when ever I am using the tilde(~) for any field, its getting blank.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
My code is encoded like this:
if (c == '<')
{filtered.append("~lt;");}
else if (c == '>')
{filtered.append("~gt;");}
else if (c == '"')
{filtered.append("~quot;");}
else if (c == '\'')
{filtered.append("~apos;");}
else if (c == '&')
{filtered.append("~amp;");}
And it has decoded like this:
xml = xml.replaceAll("~gt;", ">");
xml = xml.replaceAll("~quot;", """);
xml = xml.replaceAll("~apos;", "&apos;");
xml = xml.replaceAll("~amp;", "&");
xml = xml.replaceAll("~#13;", "&#13;");
xml = xml.replaceAll("~#10;", "&#10;");
xml = xml.replaceAll("~#16;", "%");
xml = xml.replaceAll("~#17;", "^");
xml = xml.replaceAll("~#19;", "@");
xml = xml.replaceAll("~#20;", "*");
In this way for tilde I used the following code:
if (c == '~')
filtered.append("~tilde;");
//filtered.append("~sim;");
and decoded it like
xml = xml.replaceAll("~tilde;", "&tilde;");
But in my case Tilde is getting removed.
Can you put some light in it?
