About the two-em dash symbol

A long horizontal stroke, about the width of two em dashes placed side by side. This character is a punctuation mark used in editorial and academic writing to indicate a sudden break in thought, an interruption, or an omission that is more emphatic than a single em dash. It appears in specialized typography, such as critical editions of texts, where it can mark a longer pause or a missing portion of a quotation.
