Description

A common challenge with source and alt names is that they include a unicode minus sign. Consider sanitizing source and other_names to replace the unicode with `-`.

`source_string.replace("\u2212", "-")`

Could be relevant for source names and/or JSON file creation.

Also going to make this modification on astrodb_utils for the `ingest_source` and `ingest_name`functions. https://github.com/astrodbtoolkit/astrodb_utils/issues/109
