    If you did not use a minus sign U+2212 here, you deserve it
    to be punished.
    Much more than half of the world uses hyphen-minus in the function of
    minus sign, so the browser behavior is wrong for this reason, too.
    Moreover, the breaking problem also applies to things like "The constant
    EOF is defined as (-1)", where it would be quite inappropriate to use a
    minus sign, even though the expression refers to a negative number.
