non breaking dash

Hello,

I want to prevent that a word like "Company-Name" is broken at the end
of the line at the "-".
With spaces, I would use "nbsp", but how to do this with a dash?

Thanks!

Try ‑

e.g.
Badger‑Botherer

Although that may have some restrictions based on what encoding you're
using - can anyone else advise?

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

That's non-breaking hyphen. It's probably what the OP really _meant_,
though. But it doesn't really work, due to browser limitations.

The practical approach is to use the nonstandard <nobr> markup around the
string that should not be broken across lines, as in
<nobr>Company-Name</nobr>

The encoding has nothing to do with that. The meaning of ‑ is
completely independent on the encoding of the page.

Thanks for pointing that out, that's more useful than a list of search
results.
