    I used the second one. It might be easier to use the names - in the following I input plain dash "-", en dash "–" and em dash "—" and the output is plain dash, plain dash, double plain dash: 
    "text - – —" input
"text - - --" output

      Hi Tangent

      Would you please use the statements that I mentioned. I mean please copy and paste in your script and try please.

      If you see in the second statement "-" is not a general hyphen or dash. It is a special symbol.

        It is not really a special symbol, it is an en dash.

        You repeated request to use specific characters is getting tedious to read, especially when your reply is to a post that has already mentioned the use of those characters.
