This but for em dashes
Many applications will automatically convert two hyphens to an em dash.
Not my copy of Microsoft Word I was given by work, I can say that much.
So just make a text replacement. I actually prefer it this way so I can always get the character I want. I have it set up such that
\emdash and \endash are replaced by the appropriate characters. I’ve also recently gotten into \hairsp\emdash\hairsp for all my em dash needs.
I also set up my phone to replace a ? and ! directly next to each other in both orders with a ‽
It’s great fun if you care about minute details such as these
Bootleg Office 95?
That’s an en dash. This is an em dash: —

Nice, didn't know that; it works in Telegram.
Alt+0150
That's actually the alt code for an en dash. Em dash is Alt+0151!
This should be a lot more upvoted.
I just use hyphens for everything.
I use a compose key. I type Compose - - -
For me it's "§"
Easy on Android. PITA and different shortcut on every Windows app.
@Stovetop gets it; Alt 0151 — love the em dash!
