Hypenula

Hypenula is a rarely used and somewhat archaic term, generally considered a diminutive form of "hyphen." It suggests a very small or insignificant hyphen. The term is largely found in historical texts concerning printing and typography, and its usage is almost nonexistent in modern writing or speech. It served to distinguish between different sizes or functions associated with the hyphen character, although these distinctions are now typically conveyed through other terminology. It's important to note the term lacks a standardized, universally accepted definition beyond the general implication of a "small hyphen."
