Soft hyphen

Index Soft hyphen

In computing and typesetting, a soft hyphen (ISO 8859: 0xAD, Unicode, HTML: ­ &shy) or syllable hyphen (EBCDIC: 0xCA), abbreviated SHY, is a code point reserved in some coded character sets for the purpose of breaking words across lines by inserting visible hyphens. [1]
