Alt + 0151, baby! Or... however you do it on MacOS.

But now, likewise, having to bail on emdashes. My last differentiator is that I always close set the emdash—no spaces on either side, whereas ChatGPT typically opens them (AP Style).

Just use some typography layout with a separate layer. Eg “right alt” plus “-” for m-dash

Russians use this for at least 15 years

On the mac you just type — for an em dash or – for an en dash.
