Ah... Sorry, I was not aware of the typographical meaning of the word.
Thanks for the clarification.

#+cindex: shy hyphen, special symbol
#+cindex: dash, special symbol
#+cindex: ellipsis, special symbol
In addition to regular entities defined above, Org exports in
a special way[fn:110] the following commonly used character
combinations: =\-= is treated as a shy hyphen, =--= and =---= are
converted into dashes, and =...= becomes a compact set of dots.

There,

  "and =...= becomes a compact set of dots" refers to ellipsis.
