    no no, you misunderstand. I'm not talking about the verbal flourish of dashes for interjection - I use those all the time, in this very sentence - I'm specifically talking about producing the specific Unicode character (—) instead of just using the normal ASCII dash (-). the only way I can make the actual em-dash character is by long-pressing. if I do -- or ---, it's just a sequence of normal dash glyphs for me.
