This is a hyphen (-). It has the——same function as the symbol - (U+002D - HYPHEN-MINUS, keyboard-hyphen). It comes in handy when an editor wishes——to make explicit that they really do intend a hyphen,——to discourage other editors from changing it to an ndash/other punctuation. Or when using an explicit hyphen may cause technical issues, such as with the -{
wiki syntax for language converter. By allowing {{hyphen}}
to be coded instead of -
, it avoids objections to HTML escaping. (There does not seem to be a symbolic escape e.g. ‐
.)
