True. <~> is not a Java operator. It's simply a visual IntelliJ uses to abbreviate type parameters. This ligature would increase readability for IntelliJ users.

I don't believe there is a <~> operator in Java. ~ is bitwise complement.

IntelliJ collapses type parameters into <~>, example:

Nice job. <~> is also used in Swift a lot of times as custom two-way mapping operators.
