The symbol -, known in Unicode as hyphen-minus, is the form of hyphen most commonly used in digital documents. On most keyboards, it is the only character that resembles a minus sign or a dash, so it is also used for these. [1] The name hyphen-minus derives from the original ASCII standard, [2] where it was called hyphen (minus). [3]
The four hyphen/dash-like characters used in Wikipedia are: - is a hyphen-minus (ASCII 2D, Unicode 002D), normally used as a hyphen, or in math expressions as a minus sign – is an en dash (Unicode 2013).

The hyphen โ is a punctuation mark used to join words and to separate syllables of a single word. The use of hyphens is called hyphenation. [1]The hyphen is sometimes confused with dashes (en dash –, em dash — and others), which are wider, or with the minus sign −, which is also wider and usually drawn a little higher to match the crossbar in the plus sign +.

Actually, it makes more sense that two hyphens make an en dash, and three hyphens make an em dash, for at least three reasons: (1) It enables usage of the en dash; (2) it uses only one token for the em dash (i.e., "---"), whereas two hyphens would encourage people to put spaces around the dash (thus: " -- "), which complicates parsing and takes ...
Hyphen: 1 + 2 - 3 = Minus sign: 1 + 2 − 3 = Figure dash: 1 + 2 โ 3 = + = 1+2-3= 1+2−3= 1+2โ3= It looks as if the TeX markup HTML rendition uses a plain old hyphen for a minus sign. I think the − works better in equations, since that is what it is designed for; to be the same width and height as the plus and equal signs.
