How to Stop the Em Dash From Converting to Code in cPanel
Various symbols and characters will often convert into code of some variety when you type them into your computer. On the Web and in the command line, the various types of dash, including the em dash (—), will convert into something else. If you are using cPanel, the Web control panel, you can enter an em dash when creating a document file. Therefore, if this file is a script of some variety, the em dash will be coded. You can stop this coding by "commenting" the line. Commented lines do not convert to code.
