I agree strongly with Jellby on this one. Using the exact Unicode character is the way to do it. Remember that people may also be reading the book using alternate methods (Text-to-Speech or Screen Readers).

Remember all that hoopla about the guy using the Unicode Minus Sign instead of the Hyphen? I mean... it looks exactly the same!
