I was digging through the operators on PostgreSQL and came across these... They
have no description in \do, aren't in the manual, and I can't seem to Google
them because Google filters out the special chars even if you put them in
double-quotes! I don't seen them in any of the contrib modules that I've
inserted...

~<=~
~<>~
~<~
~=~
~>~

They aren't familiar to me, but I can tell that they are text comparison
operators. The details of what and how they compare is a mystery to me!

Could someone in-the-know explain, or point me to a description?
