The hypen-minus (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+002D) is used for negative numbers displayed using NumberFormat, and are read out by VoiceOver on MacOS only as a brief pause, meaning a negative currency value is read out as positive.
Describe the expected behavior
The minus sign should be − (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2212) which allows it to be read out by VoiceOver with 'minus' said beforehand so that the value is correctly read out as negative.
Provide steps to reproduce this issue
Use the VoiceOver screen reader on a Mac to read a negative currency example that uses a hyphen-minus, such as:
-$246.31
Compare with this example using the minus sign:
−$246.31
