Where on a standard keyboard is this
What is a “standard” keyboard? No such thing as every region has different keyboards & variants inside those regions. I can use AltGr on my desktop keyboard & holding the hyphen key on mobile allows easy selection of em dash & en dash.
I don't think this is possible without alt codes on standard Windows configurations. MacOS has shortcuts for them and Linux has them too (if you have compose enabled, which is disabled by default).
Works on phones through the special character input. Sometimes. Depends on your language, location, and keyboard of choice.
Seems rather unnecessary and pedantic to tell others to use it, though. This is a forum, not a thesis.
