Non-breaking hyphen comes as # in PDF output

I want to use the non-breaking hyphen, but when publishing my DITA content to PDF, the hyphen is rendered as #. This is the case if I insert the hyphen via oXygen's character map, or as decimal ‑ or as hex ‑
Any clues here? Thanks a lot.
Chris.

Hi,
This usually happens when the font that you use have not a glyph for a specific character (Non-breaking hyphen for this case).
The solution is to use a font that includes a glyph for this character. Please see the
Set a Font for PDF Output Generated with FO Processor topic from our documentation for more details.

Hi Radu
I don't use any odd font. Just Arial. But I realized that the non-breaking hyphen is only supported in Arial Unicode MS, which was deactivated in the Windows fonts. After activating it I thought, this might be it, but still same result. However, I now used the zero-width no-break space entity ⁠ which works fine for my purpose.
