TL;DR

I want to know how to write the dash in Hom(--,B)

Here's a piece of a print screen I did on Wikipedia's page on "Hom functor":

Does anybody knows how to do that dash that's longer than a mere minus sign?

Not a thing! I was certain that I had tried that in Overleaf and it didn't look good. But now I tried it and it looks fine.
