Hmph will check, there's also


<character id="U0200C" dec="8204" mode="unknown" type="other">
 <entity id="zwnj" set="html4-special">
 </entity>
 <description>ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER</description>
</character>

<character id="U0200D" dec="8205" mode="unknown" type="other">
 <entity id="zwj" set="html4-special">
 </entity>
 <description>ZERO WIDTH JOINER</description>
</character>

one of the three will do;-)

but I'm a bit confused actually why you'd need this at all, 
because I'd normally expect line breaking to be allowed after - anyway
if you are breaking words to fit lines.

If you don't want the hyphen to allow line breaking you ought use


<character id="U02011" dec="8209" type="other" mode="unknown">
 <description>NON-BREAKING HYPHEN</description>
</character>
