Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+058A "֊" Armenian Hyphen is a punctuation mark used in the Armenian script to indicate a word break or to connect compound words, functioning similarly to a hyphen in the Latin alphabet but with specific typographic rules for Armenian text. It is distinct from the common hyphen-minus found on standard keyboards, as it is designed to align with the visual style of the Armenian script, ensuring proper line breaking and readability in written Armenian. This character is part of the Armenian block in Unicode and is primarily employed in formal writing, such as in books and official documents, to maintain the linguistic integrity of the language.
