Check your reading before posting? The advice actually is
There is an exception. Character 45 ('"-"') is always set as
minus (its value in Adobe ISOLatin1) even though it is hyphen in
the other encodings. Hyphen is available as character 173 (octal
0255) in all the Latin encodings, Cyrillic and Greek.
So try "\255". And please don't post twice.
