What is ~/. and where should I make?

I'm beginner.

I'm trying to use xmonad and reading this. It is written that "Make a directory called ~/.xmonad".

I have questions.

What is "~/."? Is this a part of the file name?

Where should I make this directory?

In Unix (and Linux) shells, ~ is the user's home folder (like $HOME). You are being directed to create a hidden folder (folders that start with a . aren't displayed in ls by default) named .xmonad in the user's home folder.
