<p>Maybe these two-part names should be entered into the database using a non-breaking hyphen (U+2011)?</p>

<br /> Hi Paul,<br /><br /> I noticed a slight bug for the Ukrainian alphabet. A hyphen "-" can be an integral part of a town name, as opposite to indication of the division of a word at the end of a line.<br /><br /> Here are some examples:<br /><br /> The name of the city of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamianets-Podilskyi">Kamianets-Podilskyi</a> (on Google map is written correctly, on the OSM map wrongly, always in two lines): <br /><br /><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osm.org/go/0hmtaWQg">http://osm.org/go/0hmtaWQg</a>-<br /><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.google.com/maps/@48.6906937,26.5564268,13z?hl=en">https://www.google.com/maps/@48.6906937,26.5564268,13z?hl=en</a><br /><br /> The town of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi">Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi</a> (again on Google map is written correctly, on the OSM map wrongly, always in two lines): <br /><br /><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/46.1517/30.3499">http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/46.1517/30.3499</a><br /><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.google.com/maps/@46.1562394,30.4138062,11.81z?hl=en">https://www.google.com/maps/@46.1562394,30.4138062,11.81z?hl=en</a><br /><br /> It should be at least as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanty-Mansiysk">Khanty-Mansiysk</a> in Russian Federation, in one line at close zooms:<br /><br /><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osm.org/go/2xZYTDR">http://osm.org/go/2xZYTDR</a>-<br /><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.google.com/maps/@61.0084264,69.0622292,12.98z?hl=en">https://www.google.com/maps/@61.0084264,69.0622292,12.98z?hl=en</a><br /><br /> or even better always in one line. For example, we do not write on the map the names of New York or San Francisco in two lines. <br /><br /> The names of these towns in Ukrainian are <em>Кам'янець-Подільський </em>and <em>Білгород-Дністровський. </em>They are written normally in one line. These are well-known towns in local culture. The first was founded in 12th century, the second in 6th century BC (it's one of the most ancient cities of with a continuous existence). <br /><br /> Best regards,<br /> Oleksiy<br /><br /><!-- html ignored --><br />
