Em dash: —
En dash: –
Regular dash/hyphen: -

In order: —–-. All three should be different in the output, not just in the edit dialog. This is UTF-8, after all.

Okay, so apparently this (https://github.com/ElkArte/ElkArte/blob/9de15b6bde837407693dce8d28d9a24dd930d4bf/sources/Subs.php#L1421-L1455) must be triggered even though I'm nowhere near anything Microsoft atm. I'm entering proper Unicode using the compose key, in Firefox 45 on Debian/unstable. And in any case, the MS characters should be replaced with their Unicode equivalents or HTML entity equivalents (like in the trailing comments), not with what it's actually replaced with.

Edit: Okay, update. These are simply the real UTF-8 encodings. See e.g. http://unicode-table.com/en/2014/ There's nothing "MS" about them.

I propose to remove the sanitizeMSCutPaste() function as harmful garbage.  8) Its only use seems to be in a non-UTF8 context (https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/blob/97876e73732658f41566808a7678fa0083cf2cd3/Sources/Subs.php#L4547-L4557).
