You also shouldn't forget the Eminem dash: –—–. Recommended for use in censoring words in rap songs.

—–—, I believe.

  • That depends. Your interpretation is “em+en+em”. But another, potentially wittier interpretation is “em in em”, i.e., you split an em-dash into two en-dashes and put an em-dash inside.

    • Heh, thanks for the attempted recovery but I definitely meant the other way around.
