Character 0xAD in ISO 8859-1 is a hyphen character.  (One reference I
have at ready hand calls 0xAD "HYPHEN" and 0x2D, the usual `-', "MINUS
SIGN".  What happened to the other two common dashes - the en-dash and
the em-dash - is a possibly interesting but distinctly minor question.
Depending on things like your display device, why you're seeing "<AD>"
instead of the hyphen character may or may not be a further mystery.)

I'm particularly aware of this because I noticed it myself a while
back, that the catfiles were getting 0xad in them instead of 0x2d; I
sometimes use Latin-1-capable display devices and sometimes not, so I
noticed the difference.

Why the catfiles are ending up with 0xad instead of 0x2d, that's a good
question.  But it's not as simple as "hyphenation is broken".
