What are these Japanese characters which look like an 'S' and a small 'n'?


What are these Japanese characters?

[looks like 'n'](https://i.stack.imgur.com/DdwpF.jpg)

[looks like 'S'](https://i.stack.imgur.com/dfMNV.jpg)

I have seen these characters in plenty of untranslated manga, but I haven't
been able to find those two letters anywhere.

Does anyone know what Japanese characters they are supposed to be?




The "looks like 'S'" character is most certainly the vertical writing mode
variant form of either:

〜 U+301C WAVE DASH

or:

～ U+FF5E FULLWIDTH TILDE
