When converting HTML to docx- "shy entities" are always rendered as hyphens

Aspose.Words Product Family

With HTML you can use the ­ entity for the purpose of breaking words across lines by inserting visible hyphens, BUT only when needed.

When transforming a HTML file containing some of these ­ entities to a docx file using Aspose, the ­ entities are always rendered as hyphens, even though there’s enough space to render the word without hyphens.

Is there an option/setting we could use to prevent this from happening?

(I attached a small Java project to demonstrate the problem.)
