SJ Games is idiosyncratic in its use of mid-height horizontal lines:
- . . . A hyphen. We use it to join words (as in "mid-height" above), to break a word between syllables at the end of a line, to create number ranges (like "1-10") and to indicate relations (as in "Chinese-Russian discussions") where others might use an en dash, as a minus (as in "sw-2") where others might use a true minus, and as a separator where others might use a figure dash (as in a phone number like "867-5309").There are still others, but these are the most likely. Anyway, what matters is that SJ Games uses only the hyphen-minus on the keyboard for almost all of these purposes and more, and a spaced en dash where others might use a non-spaced em dash.
