TranslingualEdit
SymbolEdit
-
- The hyphen-minus, a catch-all symbol for certain dash and dash-like characters.
- ‐ (hyphen)
- − (minus sign)
- ‒ (figure dash)
- – (en dash)
- — (em dash)
- ― (horizontal bar)
- (chemistry) A single bond.
Usage notesEdit
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.
