    Remember a fairly broad swath of special character altcodes

    I use the compose key. When you message with me, you are sure to receive proper dashes and real ellipsis.

    Well, unless I happen to be using my phone or another computer at the time.

      Hold on — why can’t you do proper ellipses and dashes on your phone? I don’t understand…

        Well there is no em dash or en dash key on the mobile keyboard. And there isn’t a … key either.

          I typed my comment above on my mobile keyboard. I’m just using the standard Google keyboard on my Pixel, nothing fancy. Em and en dash are available by holding on the hyphen, and the ellipsis is available by holding on the period (annoyingly, only when on the numbers/symbols page).
