Detailed Explanation
The Bis-Strich is represented by an en dash (–), which is longer than a hyphen (-). It is commonly used in timetables, opening hours, and technical texts to clearly and concisely indicate a range, replacing the word 'bis' (to/until). Its usage requires some practice, as it is a distinct character from the hyphen.
