WHere is the string going? Where is it going to be used? If you are putting together a string that's going to be interpretted as HTML, use one of the html codings. If it's an ascii string use the three U8 hex values.

Of course all this assumes that the proigram reading the string knows how to properly handle a non-breaking hyphen.

Then insert the three ascii hex characters.
