U+2011 "" Non-Breaking Hyphen Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+2011 "" Non-Breaking Hyphen is a typographic mark that visually appears identical to a standard hyphen but prevents a line break from occurring at its position, ensuring that the words or parts of a word on either side remain on the same line of text. It is particularly useful in contexts such as compound words, phone numbers, or hyphenated names where breaking across lines could confuse meaning or disrupt readability. This character is distinct from the regular hyphen (U+2010) and the soft hyphen (U+00AD), as it actively prohibits automatic line wrapping at that point while still showing the hyphen symbol.
