Inserts an em dash (U+2014, "—"). Shorthand for fr_unicode(0x2014).
The em dash is used in regulatory table titles and footnotes to
separate clauses, e.g. "Safety Population — All Randomized Subjects".
Using fr_emdash() instead of a literal "—" character guarantees
correct rendering in both RTF and PDF output regardless of file
encoding.
See also
fr_endash() for the shorter en dash,
fr_unicode() for arbitrary Unicode characters.
