It's the tilde character, and on most keyboards it's the key directly to the left of the 1 key.
This is supposed to bring up the multiplayer chat. But as I don't do MP, I've never tried this.

On my HUNGARIAN keyboard you have to press Alt Gr + 1 to get the ~.
However it is nice to hear about the danish keyboard...

Anybody interested in the German keyboard?
Well, here it is: <AltGr> + <+> => ~

Well, one of the reasons may be that there are different numbers of keys. For instance, on the German keyboard there are 3 keys right to the "L" <ö><ä><#> and then the <return>.
As far as I remember, the English keyboard lacks the third key, but the <return> key has a different shape.

Some years ago, I was given an assignment at Paris, France.
Being used to type with 10 fingers (but German, of course!), I had to write an instruction in English, typing it on a French keyboard (L and M are switched, Q and A and some other things, if I remember correctly - of course, the French think that the German keyboard is switched)

Actually, there are languages that use different characters more often. For example, spanish people do need ~ more than we, as letters like ñ are part of their language. But they do probably have a button that is specifically made for the letter ñ. (As we here in Finland have letters ä, ö and å because they are an important part of our alphabet). Nonetheless, the special keys are country-dependent, as it is more likely that say french need to use ~ than russians - if for no other reason than being nearer to Spain.
By the way, Ssvensson, it seems that ~ is in the same spot in Danish and Finnish keyboards

You are absolutely right.
For example the Hungarian alphabet consists of 42 letters, instead of 26 in the English.
We have letters like: éáûúõöüóí
42 letters! Oy! I can barely handle 26! 
Can you imagine doing that alphabet backwards in a field sobriety check? Oh man, I'd never make it! (of course, I couldn't do it with 26, either. Hell, I can't even do it sober!)

Luckily I have no experience with sobriety check...
I might ask for an other way of checking it. Walking on a line or something...

Well, don't ever say "Hell, I can't even do that sober!" Wouldn't look too good. . .
