This ๐๐ฝ โ is an em dash. I usually use it instead of parenthesis ๐๐ฝ ().
Why is it called an em dash? What else can you use it for? I don't know! This is a tech blog, so I'm going to tell you how to type it on a Mac or Windows machine.
If you're really curious about the other stuff, here is a good article about it from thesaurus.com.
Now back to tech stuff...
Mac:
Press: option + shift + -
Windows:
Hold Alt
then type 0151
A lot more elegant on Mac, wouldn't you say?
