Using escape characters with sed

I'm trying to use sed on the linux command line, and am running into an issue with special characters.

I'd like to replace "~" with "&#7E;" in the target file (without quotations). So far, using this command:

sed {s/\~/\&#7E\;/g} 

on this data:

blah~blah

produces:

blah~#7E;blah

Close, but no cigar. 

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
