Unfortunately I spoke too quickly, as this does not work with Solaris 10
troff. On that platform, this command:
printf ' - \\- \\(mi\n' | troff | dpost
outputs a .ps file that, when converted to PDF, gives you U+002D
(HYPHEN-MINUS), U+2013 (EN DASH), U+2212 (MINUS SIGN). So if TZDB wants
to play nicely even on this obsolescent platform, it still needs to play
its game with \*- instead. Oh well.
