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.
