url_unikn formats an URL the uni.kn way

url_unikn removes various patterns (e.g., "http", "https", "://", "www.") from the front of a given URL and returns the remaining character string with an n-dash (Unicode \u2013) prefix, rather than the former figure dash (\u2012) prefix (as the latter created issues on Fedora Linux systems).
