   Well, I didn't know the character inserted by C-x 8 SPC, and I
suppose most people don't use it frequently. However, it could be used
and that would be simple. For instance:
 - you write C-x 8 SPC in your org files
 - C-x 8 SPC is exported to   on HTML
 - C-x 8 SPC is exported to ~ on HTML
 - ~ continues working normally: produces ~ on HTML and \~{} on LaTeX

   But we don't need to „protect the tilde from conversion" because ~
already writes the tilde unconverted.  \~ is still free to other uses.
   Sometimes the \ means „don't escape", sometimes not. For instance
at \- it wouldn't mean „insert a hyphen", but „breaking allowed".
   Yes, that's confusing...
