This is certainly NOT a problem that is specially linked to HyperCard.
We have it always when importing any 8-bit data from earlier Macs.

This is more generally a problem of *Encoding*. The specials of the
extended Macintosh codeTable (here: char 173) and the differences
to Latin-1 (or HTML entities, where ­ is ­ the optional
hyphen) etc.

"!=" is a good solution (as it is one out of the ASCCI 7-bit range).
