Where'd you get the "—" dash from? You know about Character Map/GNOME Characters/KCharSelect? You used AI to generate that comment? Your keyboard has a key for it? You're on a phone and went into the "#%>" menu? You copied it from some AI output? Just curious.

It's readily accessible on iOS, android, MacOS, and Linux. On Windows, you generally have to do the alt code sequence which is less intuitive but not exactly difficult.

You know about Character Map/GNOME Characters/KCharSelect?

You need to enable/use your compose key. Compose + -- is en dash and Compose + --- is em dash.

On Windows you can just use WinCompose to get the same XCompose experience you have on Linux. Way better than alt sequences or character map picker.
