Not Able to retrieve Wildcard characters like ~, *, ? in Index formula

We have used '~" character in a cell and tried to reference and find it using Index Match function but it was showing a value error.

 

Help us out in the above and explain why its not able to be retrieved.

 

Thanks

    in C1:

    =MATCH("~~", A1:A8, 0)

    in C2:

    =MATCH("~*", A1:A8, 0)

    in C3:

    =MATCH("~?", A1:A8, 0)
