In javascript, if it's not in quotes, it's a minus sign.

If it is in quotes, you can call it minus or hyphen or dash or whatever
else you like.

No. ASCII has a minus sign. A hyphen is longer and ASCII doesn't have
one.

IIRC, without checking at www.unicode.org, Unicode has a character
position for minus and another for hyphen. Computer programmers and
most typists use neither of those, but use \x2D which is generated by a
keyboard key directly.
