Does the font contain a soft hyphen?
Check ID: com.google.fonts/check/soft_hyphen
The 'Soft Hyphen' character (codepoint 0x00AD) is used to mark a hyphenation possibility within a word in the absence of or overriding dictionary hyphenation.
It is sometimes designed empty with no width (such as a control character), sometimes the same as the traditional hyphen, sometimes double encoded with the hyphen.
That being said, it is recommended to not include it in the font at all, because discretionary hyphenation should be handled at the level of the shaping engine, not the font. Also, even if present, the software would not display that character.
