Jaxon and I were discussing the differences between creating an em-dash on a Mac and on a PC. Jaxon says it doesn't exist on the PC. I say it does.
marya: jaxon, I *know* you can use it on the PC! you can get it by --
jaxon: i don't believe you. i can't see it. you can't show me. so until then, it's the loch ness monster. it's big foot. it's a yedi.
(a minute passes)
jaxon: did you find it? your phoenix? your lucky charms?

carsten wrote in to offer this piece of advice: alt-0151 works in the latin 1 8859-1 (western european) character set. alt-
0150 is an endash.
i forwarded this to jaxon who said, "that's it? that's your unicorn?"
