Minus conveys numbers, comparison, calculation, or compact symbolic notation, with tone shaped by nearby text.
People use Minus to point at numbers, comparison, calculation, or compact symbolic notation in symbols contexts. It works well as a compact reaction, label, or visual accent, but it does not carry one fixed meaning in every conversation. Tone changes with wording, audience, and placement, so pair it with clear text when the message needs less ambiguity.
