See more Hello I'm having trouble identifying/naming a character that looks like a hyphen. When I try to copy it, it either doesn't copy at all, or is transferred as an ordinary space. I used Babelpad.exe to attempt to identify it. I also considered that it might be a space that is formatted with strike-through, but it aint that either.. The character can be seen here and on my screen it looks exactly like a hyphen (even in various other fonts). Any ideas? Thanks Samuel

This also works in MS Word, but only for some characters. It does nothing for my mystery character. In LibreOffice, though, it gets identified as U+2011, i.e. non-breaking hyphen. It's just odd to me how copying that character from Word to the clipboard causes it to change to a space. The Windows clipboard's plain text portion is generally quite robust. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Help identify character, please Protemos translation business management system | Create your account in minutes, and start working! 3-month trial for agencies, and free for freelancers!
