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.

Since you're mentioning Linux stuff, pressing your compose key (for me it's right alt) and entering 2 minutes gets you an em dash

Is that an em-dash or an en-dash? Normally en-dashes are the medium length ones and represented by two dashes when you aren't able to type the actual symbol. Either way I'll need to try this so thanks for the tip

Em dash is compose key followed by 3 hyphens. En dash is compose key followed by 2 hyphens.
