Re: [kbd] kbd: additions to the Unicode map for 12x22 fonts

Hello, Ken.  I just checked and the "man" utility uses the U+2010
dash, so I don't actually have a use case for any of the other dashes.
 I just noticed the soft hyphen in the unicode map of another font so
that's why I put it on that list.
