Description

What type of issue is this?

Incorrect support data (example: BrowserX says "86" but support was added in "40")

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/21621 added many -webkit-prefixed CSS properties (yay!) but a few of them are duplicates of unprefixed properties already in BCD, like hyphenate-character. Let's merge those.

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

No response

What did you expect to see?

We only need to represent non-standard webkit-prefixed properties that don't have any other entry in BCD.

Did you test this? If so, how?

Research direction

Search the browser-compat-data JSON for hyphenate-character and the other entries added by pull request #21621. Compare the prefixed properties with their unprefixed counterparts and remove only redundant entries, then run the repository's available data validation checks to confirm the dataset remains valid.
