There exists multiple ways of inserting unicode chars:

  • Visual selectors, like the character map in Windows, or gucharmap (gnome) or kcharselect (kde), and probably more
  • Decimal input
    • On Windows if you have a numeric keypad, you can hold down the Alt key and type in the unicode code point expressed in decimal... with some caveats, the decimal for em-dash should be 8212 (see the next line), but in windows alt codes it is 0151
    • In html—and therefore potentially in markdown—it is possible to use &#[NUM]; to input it, like this: —, which gives you the —
  • Hexadecimal input
    • can be enabled in windows and macos, see the wikipedia link for more info
    • ctrl+shift+u works... in some places
      • With an IME such as ibus or fcitx5 installed on linux, it should work through the system
      • For me, it works (without an ime installed) in Firefox
      • Wikipedia says it may work in other X11 applications
  • Clicking the Compose key (Linux. May need to be enabled), and writing

will get you an em-dash
