Given that using non-ASCII characters is still considered doubtful, and
given that using hyphen to mean "minus" is a long-established tradition,
I would say to use hyphen.

The place where I'd expect the Editor to show flexiblity is where ASCII
makes it difficult to express the intended meaning.  Do you have such a
situation?
