Character: U+00AD SOFT HYPHEN

Name SOFT HYPHEN
Codepoint U+00AD
Description A soft hyphen or syllable hyphen, abbreviated SHY, is a code point for the purpose of breaking words across lines by inserting visible hyphens. It serves as an invisible marker used to specify a place in text where a hyphenated break is allowed without forcing a line break in an inconvenient place if the text is re-flowed. It becomes visible only after word wrapping at the end of a line.
