Jun 11, 2019 at 12:11 comment added MrWhite To clarify, the problem is not typing a single hyphen - for that you simply hit what looks like the hyphen ("HYPHEN MINUS" is the character on the front of the key). The problem is typing two or more hyphens. Every sequence of two hyphens that are typed are converted to "EM DASH". If you type 3 hyphens you get a single "EM DASH" followed by a "HYPHEN MINUS".

Dashes (and there are several different types of dashes) are different characters with distinct uses. (They are not "oddities", predating ASCII by several hundred years.)
