Edit mode toolbar
Insert: –(endash) —(emdash) ... ‘ “ ’ ” ° ″ ′ ≈ ≠ ≤ ≥ ± − (minus sign minutely larger than the hyphen) × ÷ ← → · § Sign your username: ~ (on talk pages)

Probably understood

 * [&mdash;] ie. Emdash = The long dash in the edit mode is emdash and can also be written as &
 * Never spaced
 * Usage: Wikipedia—one of the most popular web sites—has the information you need


 * [–] ie. Endash = The endash option is avalaible in the edit toolbar or type in the phrase &


 * Mainly for disjunction
 * Spaced or unspaced
 * Usage: pp. 12–45


 * [-] = Hyphen = A hyphen ( - ) is a punctuation mark. It can be used both to join words and to separate syllables. Available on the keyboard.
 * Never spaced
 * Usage: non-violence (word), atti-tude (syllable)

Confusion

 * When to use spaces while using endash? (WP:MOS is not clear to me)


 * How to use the space? Whether the html entity or the spacebar space? (BTW both these spaces seem to be equal in width?? Or may be something's wrong with my eyes...)

Testing 1,2,3

 * i—i = i—i (unspaced long dash) (mdash only)
 * i —i = i —i (nbsp and long dash)
 * i–i = i–i (unspaced hyphen)
 * i–-i = i–-i (ndash + unspaced hyphen)
 * i–—i = i–—i (ndash + unspaced long dash)
 * i&mdash;-i =i&mdash;i (mdash + unspaced hyphen)
 * i&mdash;—i =i&mdash;—i (mdash + unspaced long dash)
 * i–i = i–i (ndash only)
 * i&mdash;i =i&mdash;i (mdash only)


 * o o  ==o o
 * o o == o o
