I often have the same problem as well - my IDLE crashes immediately when I am trying to use Option-N.

If you want to use it in a string, you can replace it using

"\x007E"

instead of

"~"

Unfortunately, if you want to use it in your code, for example as a bitwise NOT operation, this is not possible either. Try opening another program (your browser, TextEdit or any other software which supports using Option-N), type the tilde char there and copy it into idle.
