i think macos inserts those automatically if you do three dashes.

its also on phone keyboards, at least on iphone, you can hold the dash key and select the long dash: —

same for the ellipsis, which a lot of people cite as a proof something was written with AI, but iphones (and other phones too, probably) insert them automatically when you type 3 dots…

Libre (and ethnic cleansing of Palestine supporting Microsoft) Office does, too.
