IE7 and the non-breaking hyphen

**Andreas Prilop** · Sep 24 '08, 03:55 PM

It seems to me that Internet Explorer 7 (as opposed to IE6)
displays the non-breaking-hyphen U+2011 or ‑
as some sort of dash rather than a hyphen.

My test page is

http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/temp/2000.html

where Internet Explorer 7 displays

dir=ltr ‑

as some sort of dash but displays

dir=rtl ‑

as a regular hyphen. The typeface is Times New Roman;
the operating system is Windows XP.
