On what FM version and platform?
If I use that on FM7.1/Unix, I get a "+" in the Flow text.
I might add that \x15 and <Esc><-><h> may get converted to \<not>,
where <not> is the "logicalnot" symbol, a flipped and tipped capital L.
You may not see this until you apply or re-open the dialog.

FrameMaker 9 on Windows XP.
The backslash sequences are for use in FrameMaker dialog boxes, including the autonumbering in the paragraph dialog (now pod, but still a dialog underneath). They are listed in the FrameMaker user manual and have been around since I can remember (v 5), but I do not know whether the Unix versions used them or not.
I would assume that the Esc - h sequence would not work in a dialog box on any version of FrameMaker.

6. Re: Non-breaking hyphen in a paragraph format (numbering)
Error7103 Nov 21, 2011 10:33 AM (in response to Reviewer1066)\x15 and <Esc><-><h> both work in FM7.1/Unix, in every dialog box that accepts \notation.
They get converted to \<logicalnot>
\+ yields a plus on this platform.
\x15 and \+ work in FM9/Win7-64 Pgf Designer at least.
They get converted to \+
<Esc><-><h> does not work (becomes -h)
I did not test any Unicode non-breaking hyphens on FM9.

7. Re: Non-breaking hyphen in a paragraph format (numbering)
Error7103 Nov 23, 2011 2:23 PM (in response to Error7103)Interestingly, regardless of how entered, converted-in-place (or not) and displayed to the user, the standard NBH character is stored as \x15 in both MIF7 and MIF9.
The Unicode non-breaking hypen is u+2011
If the body Unicode font has that code point populated,
it appears to work just like \x15.
The MIF, however appears as "a"(caret) and a couple of apparent spaces.
