I was wondering what's better. The document is clearer if we use unicode. But maybe for humans it's easier if we have a limited character set and use context instead. Like this. In plain text, - is a hyphen: twenty-five, -1
In math context - is a minus sign $ (-1)^3 + x^3 $
Where it will be ensured to be rendered as appropriate |

(This discussion is similar to the classic net discussion about TAB‐the‐ASCII‐character versus TAB‐the‐keyboard‐key, with some people having trouble conceptualizing the difference.)
