Here's what Lynx displays for dashes, quotation marks, and daggers:

8211 ndash - en dash
8212 mdash - em dash
8216 lsquo ` left single quotation mark
8217 rsquo ' right single quotation mark
8218 sbquo ' single low-9 quotation mark
8220 ldquo " left double quotation mark
8221 rdquo " right double quotation mark
8222 bdquo " double low-9 quotation mark
8224 dagger /- dagger
8225 Dagger /= double dagger

That is, &#8212;, &mdash;, and (on Windows only) &#151; are em dashes, and Lynx
shows the em dash as a hyphen. What browser do you use?
