About this character

U+208B (₋) is SUBSCRIPT MINUS, a mathematical symbol in the Superscripts and Subscripts block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is a subscript form of U+2212 − (compatibility decomposition <sub>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+2212 −. Search engines, identifier checks and username systems that apply NFKC will treat the two as the same text.
