It's an optional hyphen. If you have allowed Word to auto-hyphenate your
document, then you may want to turn autohyphenation off for the copy you upload to Kindle. -- Suzanne S.

The optional hyphen in Word has the code ^31, while the "not operator" ¬ has code ^172. Some (text) export settings/export filters cause Word to replace one with the other, IIRC: You may try to play with the text export settings (Disable "Allow character substitution"), if that is the issue.
