Right. But we presume the hyphenation engine takes care of any spelling changes.

I'm looking for a comprehensive reference for this part:
   "The inserted hyphen glyph can take a wide variety of shapes, as appropriate
    for the situation. Examples include shapes like U+2010 HYPHEN, U+058A ARMENIAN
    HYPHEN, U+180A MONGOLIAN NIRUGU, or U+1806 MONGOLIAN TODO SOFT HYPHEN."

There are some examples there, but it's not an exhaustive list and it does not
give the mapping to language codes.
