Dawn Theme 6.0.2 How to add line break to Product title?

Store Design

Topic summary

Main issue: add manual line breaks to Shopify product titles in Dawn Theme 6.0.2 for controlled formatting, rather than automatic wrapping.

Current behavior: HTML
(line break) tags do not work in product titles. Explanation:
is an HTML line break tag; participants state it isn’t supported in product titles across themes.

Desired outcome: a title formatted with specific line breaks (e.g., splitting phrases onto separate lines).

Attempts and constraints: tried inserting “empty characters” (likely special whitespace), but each counts as ~5 characters and hits the 255-character limit for titles.

Proposed workaround idea: a code-based substitution that converts a dash (“-”) into a line break, allowing authors to write with dashes and render as line breaks.

Guidance offered: contact Shopify Support; a support link was shared. No theme code or Liquid/JS solution was provided.

Status: unresolved. Key open questions: whether any supported method (theme customization, metafields, or rendering logic) can introduce line breaks in titles without exceeding character limits or violating title HTML constraints.

Do not understand the thinking, as dawn product titles are boxed right , they have a propensity to wrap, if the title holds a load of specifics.
Why wont

Himalayan Live Seed

Ring, 1 G-Bead with 21
Rudraksha Seeds of
7mm dia.- 5 Face at

Trying to use empty characters, but they take up 5characters for each empty thy give: Exceeding 255max charactewr limit.
Is there code for a line break that would substitute for a dash?
Then I could write the product descriptions with a dash, and let the code substitute what it needs to make a line break.
