(1) Press option + n on your keyboard, then release. You should see the tilde (the little squiggly line).
(2) Then press n(or shift + n for the uppercase version).
What other characters can I put a tilde on?
You can also put a tilde on the letter A and the letter O:
• option + n, a = ã
• option + n, o = õ
[UPDATE 22-March-2011]
If you want to type the n with a tilde on an iPhone or iPad:
1. Touch and hold the N key until the pop-up menu comes out
2. Slide your finger to the ñ key and release
