Dash and Hyphen

A hyphen (-) is a punctuation mark that is used to join words or parts of words only. To type a hyphen, press the hyphen (minus) key on the keyboard.

An em dash (—) is a punctuation mark that can be used to replace parentheses or a colon to create emphasis in your writing. To type an em dash, press [Alt+0+1+5+1]. Use spaces both before and after an em dash.

An en dash (–) is a punctuation mark that is used to indicate intervals of time or ranges of numbers. To type an en dash, press [Alt+0+1+5+0]. Do not use spaces neither before nor after an en dash.
