**In Portuguese** As an additional data point: in some languages this is not only a typographic preference, but a normative requirement in certain contexts. For example, in Portuguese orthography, when a line break occurs at an existing hyphen (e.g. in a compound word), it is expected that the hyphen is repeated at the beginning of the next line. Omitting the second hyphen is considered incorrect in formal writing. **References** - Ciberdúvidas da Língua Portuguesa: https://ciberduvidas.iscte-iul.pt/consultorio/perguntas/a-barra-e-o-hifen-na-translineacao/12731# - Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar (Routledge): https://api.pageplace.de/preview/DT0400.9781000790436_A43608513/preview-9781000790436_A43608513.pdf (page 17) > Part A.
