The hyphen-minus (-) is a character used in digital documents and computing to represent a hyphen (‐) or a minus sign (−). It is present in Unicode as code point U+002D – hyphen-minus; it is also in ASCII with the same value. The use of one character for hyphen and minus and sometimes also for en dash was a compromise made in the early days of fixed-width typewriters and computer displays.
