Minus sign - VoiceOver

Hi, 

My last question for the day.  The version of VoiceOver on the Mac (desktop) that I'm using does not seem to announce a minus sign in the following context:

Balance -$90  

This reads as "balance 90 dollars", rather than "balance minus 90 dollars".  Which is a of course critical in this context.  

Some people suggest that the unicode minus sign (U+2212) must be used. 

I've done some testing with TalkBack and VoiceOver on mobile, and it seems to work as expected. But, the question is has anyone come across a similar issue on any of the mobile platforms you are able to test on?

Very best regards

Alistair
