          So just make a text replacement. I actually prefer it this way so I can always get the character I want. I have it set up such that

          \emdash and \endash are replaced by the appropriate characters. I’ve also recently gotten into \hairsp\emdash\hairsp for all my em dash needs.

          I also set up my phone to replace a ? and ! directly next to each other in both orders with a ‽

          It’s great fun if you care about minute details such as these
