<pre>As noted in the ASK thread, you can disable the replacement from Tools ->
AutoCorrect Options -> Options tab and uncheck the "Replace dashes".
That is an EN DASH character (U+2013), and will assume your issue is with the
Calc module, where Non-numeric/Non-formula text strings are parsed by the edit
shell autocorrection. The U+002D is converted to U+2013 by default as it is
problematic to leave it as the minus operator.
If really preferred, the autocorrection can be reverted by an immediate <Ctr>+Z
leaving the default behavior in place.
Otherwise, you can input the EN DASH directly, or any other Unicode glyph from
keyboard by typing U+2013 and with cursor after the 3--entering the <Atl>+X
toggle command.</pre>
