What is this called?

Maybe a dumb question, but I don’t know what the proper word for this ( – ) is. The little line inside the brackets, could someone tell me what this is called.

That punctuation mark is called a dash. It can be also called as hyphen, this are used to connect the parts of a compund word or between syllables of a word esp. of a word divided at the end of a line.
