Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
The -ms-hyphenate-limit-chars CSS property is a Microsoft extension that specifies one to three values indicating the minimum number of characters in a hyphenated word. If the word does not meet the required minimum number of characters in the word, before the hyphen, or after the hyphen, then the word is not hyphenated.
