> The unification of minus, hyphen, en-dash and em-dash is entirely natural.

Maybe in Romanian, I can't comment on that.

In English, we have three different words in common usage: hyphen, dash and minus.

No-one – including school-children – would write no—one or school—children. You might get −1 for that.
