The hyphen ( - ) is a punctuation mark used both to join words and to separate syllables of a single word. It is often confused with dashes ( –, —, ― ), which are longer and have different uses, and with the minus sign ( − ) which is also longer. The use of hyphens is called hyphenation. So you should distinguish between the minus sign ...
