On MacOS it's Shift + Option + Hyphen.

On mobile it's long-press the hyphen on the keyboard.

On Windows I use https://cemrajc.github.io/em-n-en/ so that ==- is turned into it system-wide.

On recent Ubuntu versions, you can set up Compose Key, for example with Caps Lock: https://www.danielkossmann.com/how-to-get-em-dash-ubuntu-lin...

I've long been an em-dash user and enjoyer and hope that using it stops becoming such a signal for AI text.

On iOS you don't have to do anything, -- gets autocorrected to an em-dash. This has been in iOS for almost 10 years IIRC.

Honestly, the whole, ooh em-dash means it must be AI meme makes me want to use them like I always have more.
