Try holding alt and typing 0126 on the numeric keypad
This is for the bare ~ . If you need Ñ use 0209 and if you need ñ type 0241. You can discover more using charmap.exe
Apparently this requires a registry setting. Mine was enabled by default on XP, so check this if it doesn't work:
Alas, this appears to require a registry setting. It was already set on my computer, but some readers report that this method didn't work for them, and this is probably why. If you don't know what the registry is, please don't try this. Under HKEY_Current_User/Control Panel/Input Method, set EnableHexNumpad to '1'. If you have to add it, set the type to be REG_SZ.
RyanRyanTurn on the language bar (right-click on the clock, and select toolbars->language bar)Then select English (United states) instead of english (united kingdom). That will give you a tilde...
Try Alt+n (hold down the right 'Alt/Option' key and hit n).

I'm using Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.9 from the app store and connecting to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 based PCs.
Although alphanumeric keys work properly, when I type certain symbol keys into the remote computer they come out as the wrong keys, it seems like a mapping issue. The remote machines are both set as 'English (United States) - US' for the input language, which matches what my Mac has.
The following is example of the key confusion:
Most other keys work fine. What can I do to correct this keyboard mapping on either the host (OSX Mavericks) or the client (Windows 7)?

I had the same problem using microsoft remote desktop on a mac with OSX Yosemite. My symbol keys did not work correctly, for example the became < and @ became *. I opened system preferences on my Mac that was running the RD client, and under keyboard I noticed that my input source was set to Canadian English. I added US English, deleted Canadian English, and restarted the remote desktop session. The special characters were typed correctly after that.
I also had this issue but for me it only started with recent Microsoft RDP for OSX updates. The switch between keyboard layouts was happening whenever I used the Left Alt + Shift key combination which was quite common (and very annoying) while using Visual Studio.
On the Windows machines I was RDPing to I went to Region and Language > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards..., then on the General tab of Test Services and Input Languages I removed all the unused items from the Installed Services list and clicked Apply. On the Advanced Key Settings tab ensure that only your selected service is displayed. You can also change the Left Alt + Shift key combination on this tab.
