You can include Unicode characters in Markdown documents, so go ahead and
use the actual characters if you want to. On OS X, ⌥- produces an en dash
and ⇧⌥- an em dash.

Many Markdown implementations offer extensions which allow "--" to be used
to represent an en dash and "---" to represent an em dash.
