[Could you please add a bit more context to your questions? E.g., it
would really help if you had added the information that this paragraph
is found in the Org manual, section 12.1 "Markup rules", subsection
"TeX macros and LaTeX fragments".]

You can see what it does by looking at the HTML file:

<p>
There is a shy&shy;hyphen here.

For more information, see http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/shy.html
which contains pointers to more docs.
