    No, A hyphen ( - ) is a punctuation mark. It is used both to join words and to separate syllables. It is often confused with a dash ( –, —, ― ), which is longer. Hyphenation is the use of hyphens.

    Hyphen and dash are the same thing on a keyboard. Just the dash is used a few more times

    Underscore is different _

    in a MSword document, when you use two hyphens, it becomes a dash after a while. there's no dash in the keyboard, only hyphen..
