I didn't see the original query, but the answer is actually contained in almost every edition of the hard-copy manual. Look in the appendixes for one called "Typing in dialog boxes". This appendix contains tables listing all of the "escape codes" for characters that cannot be typed directly with a single keyboard keystroke. For the Windows version of Framemaker, the "escape" character is the backslash, which is the first character of every one of the listed codes.

Instead, I try a Web search, and find how true it is that "nothing every dies on the internet." Have you tried something like "framemaker non-breaking hyphen in variable"? There's a ton of results. At least a few might be correct.
