Sure it's mangled, but it's clearly a dash (–) and not a minus (-).

It's an en dash which is supposed to denote ranges eg 2013–2024 basically meaning 'to' so it's still incorrect here even if it weren't extremely similar to - or negative and easy to confuse.

I think to 99+% of people that's not "clear".

Oh, but that is not a minus. That’s a hyphen-minus. A proper minus (−) is almost the same width as an en dash.

[aaomidi]

Is this sarcasm

[iroddis]

I think just a dash.

[pupppet]

Thread winner.

Typographically the latter character is not a minus sign, it’s an ASCII hyphen-minus, which is usually designed to look more like a hyphen than a minus sign. An actual minus sign typically looks more like a dash than like a hyphen-minus.

- hyphen-minus

− minus sign (should have equal width to +)

– en dash
