The hyphen, the n-dash (en-dash) and the m-dash (em-dash).
Use a hyphen to indicate word breaks when a sentence wraps at the end of a line, to connect compound words like "pig-headed", or to connect grouped numbers (for example: phone numbers).
An en-dash is slightly longer than a hyphen and used to describe a range in numbers or time like 2002–2010 or July–October, 2011.
An em-dash is slightly longer than an en-dash and separates a unique idea or separated thought from the rest of a sentence.
