When I try to enter long dashes Em-dash (Alt+0151) instead of the "minus sign" in autotext then I am getting squares instead of the dashes I entered.

Also shorter dashes En-dash (Alt+0150) then get into my code as regular "minus". Other unicode characters work nice, but these 2 seem to be problematic for some reason.

We are working on this, but unfortunately I don't have any time scale for when it will happen. Adding full Unicode support needs to be done carefully.

Yes but 151 is longer and if you put a few of them together it looks like a line. Would be nice if we can use it.

I am using a minus sign and got used to it, still this will make the code look nicer.

I think this is covered by:

case=1160

On a related front you say that Alt+0150 is inserted as a regular "minus", when I insert this character on my test system it looks identical to a regular minus sign. I took a screen shot and zoomed in to count the pixels, just to be sure.
