This is a Binde-Strich. This is an _Unterstrich – and the last one is a Gedankenstrich. Gedankenstriche are longer and have space to the letters next to them. But as the standard keyboard has no Gedankenstrich (only by Alt 0150) we normally just use -.
Bindestrich connects words: Be- und Entladung. Das Pharaonen-Mysterium and is used to separate syllables at the end of a line: Binde-
strich.
Gedankenstrich is used to separate parts of sentences and thus to emphasize them. The separated part of the sentence is grammatically not necessary for the sentence.
Der Gedankenstrich – ein Satzzeichen, das leider viel zu selten verwendet wird - verbessert die Textverständlichkeit.
Gedankenstrich also is used for "– 20 Grad Celsius", "10 – 15 Stück" and "35,– Euro".
