I don't see that as being any worse than the set of HYPHEN_MINUS,
HYPHEN, MINUS SIGN, etc., which depending upon your taste in
such matters could be seen as an example of what to do or what
not to do. That said, let me switch the topic to something almost
completely different.
Given the nature of U+0140 (and U+013F) when hyphenated, might it
not be a good idea to assign these two characters their own Line
Break class for the Line Breaking Algorithm of UAX #14? These two
characters if I understand the comments correctly, always provide
a line breaking opportunity after them, but if that line break opportunity
is taken, the dot must disappear, so an implementation that is not
prepared to remove the dot should ignore the opportunity.
