So, to be clear, is the following description correct? If you put a U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS character into the source for a groff file, in certain environments (e.g., in a UTF-8 environment), it will get output as a U+2010 HYPHEN character. And, by the way, if the above is correct, is there a documented rationale for why groff outputs a U+2010 for it instead of a U+002D?
