      An em dash is an emoji.

      The fuck it is. Em-dashes have existed in literature and text since long before the existence of computers and are a traditional form of textual form pause length:

      • comma (,) - one beat
      • em dash (–) - two beats
      • semicolon (;) - three beats
      • period (.) - four beats
