How to reproduce the issue?

Upload opening hours using a non-standard dash

the standard dash seems to be - (Hyphen-Minus) other similar dashes: HYPHEN NON-BREAKING HYPHEN FIGURE DASH EN DASH SMALL EM DASH ۔‎ ARABIC FULL STOP HYPHEN BULLET ˗ MODIFIER LETTER MINUS SIGN MINUS SIGN HEAVY MINUS SIGN COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER DIALECT-P NI (similar characters found from https://www.unicode.org/Public/security/15.0.0/confusables.txt, there may be more)

this leads to parsing fails in some applications, eg. also see https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/3888. it should also be handled at the application level, but it's good to have standard data as well.
