I need hyphenation character at line break so soft hyphen is used in my case. It is inserted manually at appropriate place (only few places so there is not necessary to apply any sophisticated algorithm and do it programmatically), but as I said, such inserted characters have no precedence over default hyphenation behaviour

Supposed behaviour if text can't fit its area:
1. is there a white space? Break line at this position
2. is there a special character like hyphen or soft hyphen? -"-
3. if no character match criteria above, use hyphenation pattern
4. if no pattern is available for given word, break line as necessary

I think current order is different.
