What does the hyphen in [this dictionary

> どりょく‐か 努力家

In official Japanese-language typesetting, which Unicode character should it
be? I suspect it is not the minus sign character on most English-language
keyboard.




It's just a hyphen to split the word stem from the suffix 家. It's not written
that way in normal text, but you do see it in dictionaries or word lists.
