I deal with shy hyphens a lot. They don’t display unless there’s a line break, so they get copied from various word docs or websites and end up in a database somewhere waiting to piss me off.
I'm guessing that they pasted code from inside Microsoft Word.
I've had similar "fun" with the character defaults on MySQL, from memory for a time it was Swedish by default, rather than UTF.
