In addition, + represents the operation of addition, which results in a sum, while represents subtraction, resulting in a difference. Their use has been extended to many other meanings, more or less analogous. Plus and minus are Latin terms meaning "more" and "less", respectively.

In computing and typesetting, a soft hyphen or syllable hyphen, abbreviated SHY, is a code point reserved in some coded character sets for the purpose of breaking words across lines by inserting visible hyphens. Two alternative ways of using the soft hyphen character for this purpose have emerged, depending on whether the encoded text will be broken into lines by its recipient, or has already been preformatted by its originator.

In Latin script, the double hyphen is a punctuation mark that consists of two parallel hyphens. It was a development of the earlier double oblique hyphen, which developed from a Central European variant of the virgule slash, originally a form of scratch comma.

The hyphen-minus- is the most commonly used type of hyphen, widely used in digital documents. It is the only character that resembles a minus sign or a dash in many character sets such as ASCII or on most keyboards, so it is also used as such. The name "hyphen-minus" derives from the original ASCII standard, where it was called "hyphen (minus)". The character is referred to as a "hyphen", a "minus sign", or a "dash" according to the context where it is being used.

The dash is a punctuation mark consisting of a long horizontal line. It is similar in appearance to the hyphen but is longer and sometimes higher from the baseline. The most common versions are the en dash, generally longer than the hyphen but shorter than the minus sign; the em dash, longer than either the en dash or the minus sign; and the horizontal bar, whose length varies across typefaces but tends to be between those of the en and em dashes.
