What is hyphen in HTML?
U+00AD (SHY) An invisible, "soft" hyphen. This character is not rendered visibly; instead, it marks a place where the browser should break the word if hyphenation is necessary. In HTML, use ­ to insert a soft hyphen. Note: When the HTML <wbr> element leads to a line break, no hyphen is added.
How do you break a word with a hyphen?
Divide a hyphenated word at the hyphen (with the hyphen remaining on the first line). For example: mother-|in-law or mother-in-|law but not mo-|ther-in-law. Do not divide a word at the end of the page so that the second part starts a new page.
