I’m sorry, I realise that the character is valid and meaningful in Spanish
but as far as I know, the author of the book (Jesse Liberty) did not intend
it to mean anything as part of the C++ code in the book.

I beg your pardon! "this n with a ~ above it" is the 25th letter of the
Spanish alphabet, and means to me exactly the same as any other letter of
the alphabet could.

Has the code any relation with Spanish? I mean, is there a list of names or
something like that? If not may be they used it for other purposes.

Just type ALT+164 and you'll get the character
