@Dangerous_beans@aus.social There are so many great dashes!
- hyphen minus
﹣ small hyphen minus
－ full width hyphen minus
− minus sign
soft hyphen (yeah, there's an invisible hyphen)
‐ hyphen
‑ non-breaking hyphen
‒ figure dash
– en dash
— em dash
﹘ small em dash
― horizontal bar or quotation dash
⁓ swung dash (which is not a tilde)
⸚ hyphen with diaeresis
⸺ two em dash
⸻ three em dash
⹀ double hyphen (not an equal sign)
゠ katakana double hyphen
〰 wavy dash
︱ vertical em dash
The possibilities are endless! Well, finite, but way larger than you'd think.

@LilahTovMoon@tech.lgbt @Dangerous_beans@aus.social The soft hyphen is dazzeling, particularly in combination with the swung dash! Mesmerizing!

@LilahTovMoon@tech.lgbt @Dangerous_beans@aus.social Also, Katakana-Hiragana Prolonged Sound Mark which is not a dash: ー [edit: is actually a "letter", and can be used inside hashtags]
