https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#hyphenate-character
This is needed for writing systems that use a different hyphenation character than the default Unicode HYPHEN (or HYPHEN-MINUS), such as Canadian Syllabics (which has U+1400 CANADIAN SYLLABICS HYPHEN, "᐀").
Another use is to suppress any visible hyphen when a line is broken at a "hyphenation" position, a convention sometimes seen in languages such as Tamil (https://w3c.github.io/iip/gap-analysis/taml-gap#issue79_hyphenation).
I've filed https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6887 to enquire about the status of the spec; currently webkit and blink are shipping this with a -webkit- prefix but do not appear to have the unprefixed form.

FF97 docs work for this can be tracked in https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/11596.
Can you indicate a string that would take advantage of using the auto setting? Right now the example doesn't do anything different from just not using hyphenate-character, because I don't know what languages use different symbols and what the string would look like.

Currently we don't implement any language-specific customizations of the auto behavior, so it'll just produce a standard hyphen.
(Note that auto is the initial (default) value of the property, so will always behave the same as not specifying it at all; generally the only reason to use auto explicitly would be to override a different inherited value.)
