Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-4] Add an optional second value to `hyphenate-character` to render the unchosen `` (#12255) from jfkthame via GitHub on 2025-07-15 (public-css-archive@w3.org from July 2025)

I think I still don't entirely understand. If I try your example:
```
<p lang="de-DE-1901">Nach Tagen der Suche konnte sie eine Pampelmuse
 ent&shy;<span style="hyphenate-character: 'k-' 'c';">de<span
 style="font-size: 0px; float: inline-end;">c</span>&shy;ken</span>,
 und begann, ein Stilleben anzufertigen.</p>
```
in a current browser (i.e. one that doesn't support this suggested feature), and the `&shy;` in `entdecken` is **not** used as a breakpoint, the word renders as "entdeken" -- there's no visible "c". Isn't that wrong? So this does not seem to be backward-compatible.
