Pin 'halui.estop.is−activated' does not exist, when clearly it does

I'm trying to wire up `halui.estop.is−activated`, but LinuxCNC (2.9) doesn't like it. Here's a snippet of my HAL:
The first line reference to `halui.program.is-idle` goes without a hitch. I can look in the Show HAL Configuration UI and see the pin is there and responding to changes in Axis. I can even issue a hal command in the dialog to link `halui.estop.is−activated` to a net. But I can't do it in my HAL files. I also tried to do it in postui.hal, but that had no effect. I think my hal ui pins are all created by the time any of my HAL files are read:
net program-idle <= halui.program.is-idle
net program-open-collet <= motion.digital-out-02 # m64/m65 p2
net program-purge-air <= motion.digital-out-03 # m64/m65 p3
net e-stop-active <= halui.estop.is−activatedThe first line reference to `halui.program.is-idle` goes without a hitch.

[HAL]
#TWOPASS = on Doesn't work, causes load errors
HALUI = halui
HALFILE = router3.hal
HALFILE = io.hal
HALFILE = custom.hal
HALFILE = postgui.hal

just mark it as # not read
then start the mashine and look if it is existig
spelling
as of 2.9 the pinnames changed
and use the one that is in halshow
or halmeter present
it is highly recomended to use halui only in postgui files as special the estop chain is effected
POSTGUI_HALFILE = custom_postgui.hal
not a postgui as a halfile and at the end of the hal files loaded

The pin name *hasn't* changed, though. It shows up in the running LinuxCNC as I detailed above.
And I tried POSTGUI_HALFILE = postgui.hal
It had no discernible effect. That INI file was created by the 7i76e wizard.

It's in the title of the post: "Pin 'halui.estop.is−activated' does not exist." Sorry, I meant to clarify that in the original post. This error is displayed in the output from invoking `linuxcnc` on the command line, after a bunch of typical output while it processes the config files.

Is that the exact message? was there any messages before it?
It's possible that is not the real error, but an error caused by something before it.

Yeah, that was the exact message. I'm not in front of it right now, but I looked pretty closely, and I didn't see any other output before that that was different from when I comment out that line in the HAL file. I even tried with `-d`. I'll try again as soon as I'm in front of it to be sure, but I don't think so.
The error line included the file and line number of the HAL file with the error.

I've attached the console output when launching with the two configurations. There's one other difference between them. In the non-error case (when I comment out the is-activated line), I get this additional line in the logs:
normal.txt:
When I uncomment the line, that line is suppressed, the rest show up, as well as the error lines:
error.txt:
I've also attached all my config files.

When I looked at your postgui file I see this on line 13 :
net e-stop-active <= halui.estop.is−activated

Ooh interesting. File encoding issue, maybe. Lemme investigate.
