Have you tried using U+2010 (HYPHEN) ‐. It is in the class
XID_CONTINUE (in fact it is in XID_START) so should be available.
U+2010 isn't allowed in Python 3 identifiers.
The rules for identifiers are here:
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#identifiers
. U+2010 is in category Pd
(http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2010), which isn't one
of the categories allowed in identifiers. Category Pc
(http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/category/Pc/list.htm) is
allowed, but it doesn't include anything that would look like a hyphen.

Looks like the site that I looked up characters in XID_CONTINUE/START
was incorrect. Looks like not only is U+2010 not in any of the character
classes that are put into ID_START or ID_CONTINUE but is in
Pattern_Syntax which is explicitly removed from those categories.
