 |Not in English.  A hyphen may be used to join compound adjectives, as a

 |Those ASCII ‘-’ above should be rendered as a hyphen in nicely typeset

Ah, kerning and all that, a science!
But i was talking -Tutf8, and these are fixed width font and there
are three character cells, and the left "has two", the middle "is
empty", and the right is ok to go.
