  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

    Ok mind changed.

    I was being facetious btw, but thanks for the serious response.
