minus sign

Noun

 * 1)  The symbol −, used to denote the operation of subtraction or to indicate that a number is negative.

Usage notes

 * Often in typography (and always in computer programming), the hyphen (-) is used instead of the minus sign (−); in many fonts, the symbols are barely distinguishable or not at all (although the difference is clear in Times Roman). Careful typographers use the minus sign instead of the hyphen.
