I don’t think there’s a need to use Word. On iOS, I can trivially access those characters—just hold down the dash key in the symbols part of the keyboard. You can also get the en-dash that way (–) but as discussed it’s less useful in English.

I don’t know if it works on the Finnish keyboard, but when I switch to another Scandinavian language it’s still working fine.

On macOS, option-dash will give you an en-dash, and option-shift-dash will give you an em-dash.

It’s fantastic that just because some people don’t know how to use their keyboards, all of a sudden anyone else who does is considered a fraud.
