Hyphen

A hyphen ("-") or dash was a punctuation mark used for joining words and/or numbers.
Dashes were used to in Starfleet prefix codes. In 2259, a time travelling Brad Boimler noted that he was on the "dash nothing" (not -A or -D, that is), confusing Erica Ortegas and Una Chin-Riley. ()
In 3189, as Paul Stamets attempted to spell out "my partner brought me out of a coma and all I got was this lousy t-shirt", he failed to mention the hyphen in "t-shirt". Stamet's partner, Hugh Culber, pointed out that the hyphen was missing. ()
