So Jonathan pointed me to the same place and change the substitution. That works but if I leave the punctuation verbosity level set to most I get too much.
I experimented in a document and it was nice to see how this works. I will run this by the developer too and see if if a change can be made there so I can keep the level set to some.

Hi, You could also set up a keyboard shortcut for this. If you open the Emoji & Symbols dialog with cmd-ctrl-space, enter a dash in the Search field, then you should be able to locate the Math symbol for "⁻" (minus). Now, in the Text tab of the Keyboard System Preferences, create a substitution. For example, you could set it to always substitute the "⁻" sign when you type some combination of characters such as m s g n. Later...

Not only is there a minus sign but a special one for making negative numbers as opposed to positive numbers. There is some way in the international or keyboard settings to input UNICODE minus as option held down while typing 2212. Also, if you go into edit->emotes and symbols (command-control-space on my system), you can search for minus. There are actually UNICODE symbols for all of the recycle categories too! What fun we could have. Best wishes, Jonathan CohnOn Sep 30, 2016, at 11:27 AM, E.T. <ancient.ali...@icloud.com> wrote: This I want to find out as well.

Normally pne would not notice a difference in print but using Voiceover, when numbers are involved, dash would not do. And when not using numbers, minus would not be good. So I am curious if there is an actual difference in typing the two characters? Thanks much. From E.T.'s Keyboard...
