U+2013 "–" En Dash Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2013 "–" En Dash is a punctuation mark that is longer than a hyphen but shorter than an em dash, and it is primarily used to indicate a range of values, such as between numbers, dates, or times, like 10–20 or Monday–Friday. It also serves to connect compound adjectives when one element already includes a hyphen, as in the phrase pre–World War II architecture, and in some style guides it creates a stronger connection than a hyphen would. Unlike the hyphen, which joins words without spaces, the en dash is typically set with spaces on either side in certain editorial contexts, though usage can vary by language and style preference.
