Thank you for your answer!

I am using FOP 0.95 (latest stable at the time of writing).

I am trying the following fo snippet.

        <fo:block>
                                This is the example with 2011 (as char) non 
breaking hyphen: 
This&#8209;is&#8209;a&#8209;line&#8209;with&#8209;8209&#8209;characters 
                        </fo:block>
                        <fo:block>
                                This is the example with 2011 (as hex) non 
breaking hyphen: 
This&#x2011;is&#x2011;a&#x2011;line&#x2011;with&#x2011;8209&#x2011;characters 
                        </fo:block>
                        <fo:block>
                                This is the example with 2011 (as number) non 
breaking hyphen: 
This&#8209;is&#8209;a&#8209;line&#8209;with&#8209;8209&#8209;characters 
                        </fo:block>
                        <fo:block> This is the example ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ with an 
HTML shy hyphen: 
Bigand­long­word­that­should­break­in­a­logical­place­and­not­go­to­the­next­line
 </fo:block>
                        <fo:block> This is the example ZZZZZZZZZ with non 
breaking space : 
Big&#160;and&#160;long&#160;word&#160;that&#160;should&#160;break&#160;in&#160;a&#160;logical&#160;place&#160;and&#160;not&#160;go&#160;to&#160;the&#160;next&#160;line
 </fo:block>

Comments:

- The hyphens in the first block are hex 2011 chars inserted directly into the 
FO file from the VIM editor
- The hyphens in second block are entities with number 8209
- The hyphens in the third block are entities with hex 2011
- There are hyphens in 4th block with hex AD inserted directly by VIM
- The non-breaking-space in the 5th block are entities with number 160

I run this snippet with FOP using
fop -fo hyphens.xml hyphens.pdf

Expected output

First Block: This-is-a-line-with-8209-characters sentence appearing with 
hyphens but it should not break at any point.
Second block: The same as first
Third block: The same as first
Fourth block: The sentence Bigandlong... with no visible hyphens. Only one 
visible hyphen when it breaks
Fifth block: The sentence Big and long... with spaces but no break at all

Actual output
First block:The sentence appearing with "#" characters instead of hyphens
Second block: Same as first
Third block same as first
Fourth block: As expected (so this works OK)
Fifth block: As expeected (so this works OK)

Thus the problem is that I get the "#" (sharp symbol) instead of a 
non-breaking-hyphen in the PDF output.

I hope this is more clear.
