What happened?

When I used the font Cascadia Code in visual studio, the ligature do not works with character '-'. (The same thing occurs in Cascadia Code NF and Cascadia Code PL with any weight) I have also tested in notepad, and the ligature works well.

It's a Visual Studio editor problem, see https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/font-ligatures-not-working/591741 -- hyphen-based ligatures are not working in WPF. Fira Code issue: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/259

Indeed, this is a VS issue! Thanks @glebd.
