Default Insert a nonbreaking minus sign?

I saved it as autotext using the minus key (-). Hit F3 and it inserts the
non-breaking symbol

Yup! That worked properly. I typed 2212 in my document and then hit ALT+x
and it converted the 2212 to a true minus sign.
Thanks Suzanne.

Actually, the true minus sign (which is wider than a hyphen, more like an
em
dash, and the same width as the plus sign) is naturally nonbreaking; find
it
at 2212 in the Mathematical Operators character subset).

Does anyone know how to insert a nonbreaking minus sign? Like if
