It's a way to make it seem flirtatious or cutesy.
Like you're curling the end of whatever your saying in a slightly higher pitched voice, trying to come off as being cute, flirty, devious, sarcastic, or any combination of the three.
The reasoning is because it just looks so cute. It can be used as an accent mark, a sarcasm mark, virtually anything really. It just changes the tone of what you're saying. Something supposedly serious could come off being obviously playful and not serious if you put that at the end.
It can be used in a sing-song / playful voice as well.
Mostly it's used to convey a playful tone of some sort, be it flirtatious, cheery, sarcastic, devious, sing-song, cutesy, whiny, or anything else.
It can also be used to elongate the ending sounds of a word. Like instead of saying "chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" I could say "chiiiiiiiii~~" or even just two 'i's and two tildes would get the message across that it's supposed to be an elongated sound.
It can be used for comedic effect, whiny, or cutesy as well.
Really it just depends on the context. It's more something you pick up rather than outright explain. I didn't know what it meant at first either, until I noticed all my buddies on a forum I used to be on (which was mostly female) started using it almost all the time and it was painfully obvious they were being sarcastic and playful and sarcastically flirtatious with each other while doing so. And then they were using it to be cute. After that, it wasn't hard to put two and two together.

^That. I also use it at the end of a quote or something. I have been using it for a really long time.
