Why not m-dashes?
Authored by: mproud on Nov 02, '05 12:14:06AM

While we're on the subject of Unicode and special characters, why not implement an m-dash? Most people just use hyphens '-', but this is actually incorrect. An m-dash — which is option + shift + '-' — will get you the m-dash ('—'). (You can also find it in the character palette.)

Now next time you're looking to put in a dash, you know how to put a <em>real</em> m-dash in, instead of a puny hyphen.
