Please do not post single-line answers. The minimum character limit exists to enforce this very purpose. Instead, explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations and credible references. If, however, the question is so trivial that 5 words would completely answer it, this means the question is bad for the Stack Exchange format and should be closed.

Thanks! I was expecting a more tilde-like shape and wasn't sure it was a madda.

It is not exactly an elegant font, but there is nothing else it could be.

I think it's a perfect answer. It goes straight to the point.
