Symbol

1. The hyphen-minus, a catch-all symbol for certain dash and dash-like characters.
   1. ‐ (hyphen)
   2. − (minus sign)

   4. – (en dash)
   5. — (em dash)

   7. (chemistry) A single bond.

Usage notes

The multiple uses of this character were a compromise that made sense in the early days of fixed-width typewriters and computer displays, but are not in agreement with proper typesetting. Nonetheless, the usage persists since the hyphen-minus is easy to enter on keyboards, well known, and at the same place in all common character sets.
