Well, UNICODE 2122 is apparently the minus sign. Not only is there a minus sign 
but a special one for making negative numbers as opposed to positive numbers.

There is some way in the international or keyboard settings to input UNICODE minus 
as option held down while typing 2212. Also, if you go into edit->emotes and 
symbols (command-control-space on my system), you can search for minus.

There are actually UNICODE symbols for all of the recycle categories too! What 
fun we could have.

                Best wishes,

I'm sure there is a code for -. I wonder what would happen if you type it in 
Nemeth math. Or perhaps we can find the unicode code online? What does

The dash and the minus are two names for the same symbol. It is the same as 
number sign, pound, and hash for the specific symbol..

That should work but that would be global wouldn't it? Normally pne would not 
notice a difference in print but using Voiceover, when numbers are involved, 
dash would not do. And when not using numbers, minus would not be good.

So I am curious if there is an actual difference in typing the two characters? 
Thanks much.

go to the VO utility Select “Speech”, then “Pronunciation”.
Click add, and put a “-“ in place for the “text” and “minus” in place for the 
Substitution
note, i had to press “vo+Space” on the “Substitution” color in the table then 
type the word “minus” using voiceover 7 in OS X 10.12.
hope that helps

Can one type a minus character so that Voiceover speaks 'minus' and not 'dash'?
