Let's focus on the real issue here, which is that HN has apparently normalized the double hyphen in the title to an en dash--yes, an en dash, not even an em dash.

It's a command line argument. The undeniably correct way to render it is with two minus signs[1] and absolutely not something non-ascii.

[1] Not strictly a hyphen, which has its own unicode point (0x2010) outside of ascii. Unicode embraced the ambiguity by calling this point (0x2d) "HYPHEN-MINUS" formally, but really its only unique typographic usage is to represent subtraction.

Strictly, its as you note, the hyphen-minus, and Unicode has separate, disambiguated code points for both hyphen (0x2010) and minus (0x2212); hyphen-minus has no "unique typographic usage".
