Em dashes, smart quotes, section and pilcrow marks and more — tap to copy.
A keyboard only prints a handful of punctuation marks, but good typography needs more. The em dash (—) sets off a break in a sentence, the en dash (–) joins ranges like 9–5, and the ellipsis (…) is a single character rather than three periods. Curly quotes (" " ' ') are the typographically correct quotation marks — straight quotes are really meant for inches and feet. Beyond those, the section (§) and pilcrow (¶) marks reference parts of a document, and daggers († ‡) mark footnotes. All copy cleanly into documents, posts and messages.
