So, I guess it's only me who learned from the comments here that the was a difference between em dash and en dash? Or that they might be different from a hyphen or a minus?

(In my defence, I don't work in any of the specialized areas where it matters, and was raised in a poor, ascii only, western household.)

I will point out that spammers and scammers have been having a field day with this kind of character confusion for years now, and a lot of software still hasn't caught up to it.

On the bright side, the very old school database I babysit for work can be convinced to output utf8, including emoji, many of which render quite well in a terminal, allowing me to create bar graphs of poo or love heart characters, which honestly makes it all worth it for me.
