This is straight forward with the Notation Package and Palette. Note 
that to consider something like x-tilde as a single entity, it is 
necessary to use Symbolize. Others have responded that this sort of 
thing is "not worth it", but I totally disagree. There is nothing more 
mind numbing to me than to look at code for a physics equation that is 
all ASCII rather than looking at code that is in the "textbook style". 
It does take a little more work, but the visual clarity it affords is 
well worth it.
