The Big Chungus of dashes. Could this be the character that has the widest rendering?!

Unlikely in non-english languages (I seem to remember some super wide Arabic "single character" ones...?)

Does this comment break HN for anyone else? I can press "next" on any other post, but not this one. And in the next post, pressing "prev" does not scroll to this one. It does nothing. Prev works fine when pressed on this (or any other) post

Works fine for me in Firefox.

> ...primarily used in scholarly and literary contexts to indicate a significant omission within a quoted passage, typically representing a full line, paragraph, or even multiple sentences of text

We avoid censorship by ⸻ more often and talking to ⸻ about ⸻.

That’s a big dash

For you. But is it the biggest dash? And what is its intended purpose? I've never seen one that big before.
