man page uses unicode HYPHEN instead of ascii '-'

[bagder]

I did this

man curl

Go to the example command lines showing --connect-timeout . Copy the first example. Paste it into a terminal.

$ curl ‐‐connect‐timeout 20 https://example.com
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: xn--connecttimeout-462hah

man has "helpfully" converted the ascii minus byte code 45 into a unicode hyphen (U+2010).

I expected the following

The example to work.

curl/libcurl version

8.2.1 and current master

operating system

Debian unstable x86_64 (up-to-date)
