What is an "en dash"?
An en dash (–) is a punctuation mark that is longer than a hyphen (-) but shorter than an em dash (—). It is used primarily to indicate a range of values, such as numbers, dates, or time, like in "2020–2024" or "Monday–Friday." Additionally, the en dash can connect related items, such as "the New York–London flight," showing a connection between the two cities. It can also replace the word "to" in certain contexts. Unlike a hyphen, which is used to join words, the en dash serves as a way to express a relationship or a range. It is an important typographical element in clear and precise writing.
