This is KDE GB, as well. The character you define looks as though it has a
bar above it, but if you paste that into something where you can magnify the
view you will find that it actually is a tilde.
Sorry, but no.
ă (the first one) is not a-tilde, it's an a with a u-shaped accent.
ã (the second one) is a-tilde.
