Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In a blog I frequent, specifically https://ralsina.me/ if you must know, soft hyphens are used after each syllable, probably to aid with hyphenation. These characters are not rendered in some fonts, because that (to separate lines properly) is their sole purpose. Currently, NVDA says "soft hyphen" when each occurs, in all punctuation levels except none.

Describe the solution you'd like

As these characters are not visible and their purpose is clear, I would move the pronunciation level of them to "char" from, I suppose, some.

Describe alternatives you've considered
