This character is a Dash Punctuation and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.
The glyph is a small version of the glyph Em Dash. Its East Asian Width is wide. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. It will not end a sentence. U+FE58 offers a line break opportunity at its position, except in some numeric contexts. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.

The dash is a punctuation mark consisting of a long horizontal line. It is similar in appearance to the hyphen but is longer and sometimes higher from the baseline. The most common versions are the endash–, generally longer than the hyphen but shorter than the minus sign; the emdash—, longer than either the en dash or the minus sign; and the horizontalbar―, whose length varies across typefaces but tends to be between those of the en and em dashes.
Typical uses of dashes are to mark a break in a sentence, or to set off an explanatory remark (similar to parenthesis), or to show spans of time or ranges of values.
The em dash is sometimes used as a leading character to identify the source of a quoted text.
