How to Distinguish
Both Subscript Minus and Subscript One belong to the Superscript & Subscript category and the Superscripts and Subscripts block. Compare their codepoints and visual rendering to distinguish them.
Tip: Paste the character into a hex editor or use
charCodeAt()
in JavaScript to check the actual codepoint.
