Quotes, Dashes & Punctuation FAQ
Em dash or en dash?
The em dash — like this — sets off phrases; the en dash joins ranges, 9–5. They are different characters with different jobs, and both are named plainly in this grid so you never paste the wrong one again.
Why does it look different on my friend’s phone?
Every platform draws Unicode characters with its own fonts, so the same character can look subtly (or wildly) different between devices. The character you copy is identical everywhere; only the drawing changes.
