Hyphen
The hyphen is a punctuation mark used to join words and to separate syllables of a single word. The use of hyphens is called hyphenation. ''Son-in-law'' is an example of a hyphenated word. The hyphen is sometimes confused with dashes (figure dash , en dash , em dash , Horizontal bar (punctuation), horizontal bar ), which are longer and have different uses, or with the minus sign , which is also longer and more vertically centred in some typefaces. Although hyphens are not to be confused with en dashes, there are some overlaps in #Use in English, usage (in which either a hyphen or an en dash may be acceptable, depending on user preference, as #En dash, hyphen, or either one, discussed below). In addition, the hyphen often substitutes for the en dash elsewhere in informal writing. As an Orthography, orthographic concept, the hyphen is a single entity. In terms of character encoding and display, it is represented by any of several character (computing), characters and glyphs, inc ...
