The – is the en-dash (not your typical - "minus"), which is a three-byte character in UTF-8. If its display screws up, it means you're not handling UTF-8 correctly, or more generally, you're not handling encodings correctly. See Handling Unicode Front To Back In A Web App for a complete introduction.
