Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release

Description:

In the bash manual page (`man bash`), the ASCII tilde character '~'
(0x7e) is replaced by the Unicode character '˜' (U+02DC SMALL TILDE):

     $ man bash | grep 'additional binary operator'
                   An additional binary operator, =˜, is available,
with the same prece‐

The same happens for the use of ~ as a shorthand for the home
directory. This makes the manual page incorrect, and difficult to
search.

Thanks for the report. Progress, I suppose.
