If this were HTML/JavaScript I would simply write: document.write("\u2013"). The
character codes are listed like this (http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm), and I simply
write out the string.


Made a quick test:

if io.output("Test.txt") then
  io.write("\254\255\32\19")
  io.close()
end

I get an UTF-16 file (with Bom) with an ndash.
