Hyphen added to email address when sending via text

I was trying to send my email address to a friend via text which doesn't fit the screen

so it adds a hyphen to the next line making my email address appear wrong to the person

Im sending it too.I tried turning off smart punctuation and a few others but it always adds the Hyphen.

Using Iphone 12 with latest OS

On an iPhone, you can create a non-breaking space by:

Typing the first part of your email address.
Instead of pressing space, press and hold the space bar until the "QuickType" menu appears.
Select the "Input" option and choose the "Emoji & Symbols" option.
Look for the "Unicode" category or search for "no-break space" or "NBSP" and select it.
Insert the non-breaking space between parts of your email address.

This might prevent the phone from breaking the email address onto the next line. Another option could be using a URL shortening service temporarily to provide the email address in a shorter format that won't break in the text message.
