However not every ePub reader implements the rendering of this special character. Some of them do it partially. Other shows it as expected. This is the same as other CSS features which may or may not be implemented in a specific reader.
ADE is the most used software for reading ePub. If you are using a version of ADE that displays hyphens, then you do not need to use the plugin and if the version of ADE being used, this won't work. Most people who do use it will find it doesn't work. Also, searching with ADE (desktop) does not work for any words with a soft hyphen. I'm suggesting removing ePub compatibility because of these issues that will effect more people then not.
