@matt I don't have an answer to your question but I've now learnt that a soft hyphen is a thing that exists.

  Is there any screen reader or browser extension that eliminates soft hyphens when reading a web page? Some authors or blog themes add soft hyphens throughout text, presumably to allow the browser to do hyphenation at the end of the line, but this has the side effect of breaking up words, which is bad for text-to-speech. Here's the latest example I've come across: https://www.robinsloan.com/lab/reasons-ing/
