There are many different variants which can all be normalized to -:

However, to keep things simple:

=>

["–": "-"],
["—": "-"],
["−": "-"],
["‒": "-"],

Side note: there is already an "underscore" transliteration for a similar-looking Arabic character:

transliterate/replacements.js

Line 245 in 4058138

['ـ', '_'],

[sindresorhus]

We can do:

string.replace(/\p{Dash_Punctuation}/gu, '-');

to cover all the dashes.
