I have never heard about "-" being a tac.

About universal standards: there is Unicode and it defines also human-readable names. Bar is "VERTICAL LINE" there, "-" is "HYPHEN-MINUS" (because it contains also both hyphen and minus signs which usually look better on appropriate places). I do not think though your speech would be easy to understand if you will use Unicode names, but nevertheless it is a universal standard.
