I have many scenes with a hyphen (-) in their names. I find this helpful for readability with long names. This works fine, except when speaking to Assist (using Home Assistant Cloud) which can't find these entities. It also works fine when typing to Assist if I include the hyphen. I don't pronounce the hyphen when saying the name and I would expect it to be treated like punctuation and stripped out for the purposes of matching entities. I've also tried saying "hyphen" but that is rendered as the word (sensibly) and also doesn't help to match the entity.

I see this was addressed for apostrophes a little while back and that hyphens and underscores are treated specially for other reasons. Is it possible to treat the hyphen or similar characters as unspoken punctuation too?
