Description:
Currently, clicking the signature button adds two hyphens before users'
signatures. It may or may not look a bit more professional if a real em dash
could be used instead of two hyphens.

I was about to make the following comment when i got a mid-air-collision message
from bugzilla

there is the slight issue that iso-8859-1 doesn't have that charactor

(confusingly

windows-1252 which a lot of programs claim is iso-8859-1 does)

because of the way signatures are used they should ideally look nice in the

edit box

as well (talk pages get edited a lot remember) and using an entity (either by

name or

by code point) would make that a bit messier

therefore i would advise holding off on this until such time that we switch

completely to utf-8

however having read Bug 1485 it seems that is a far more sensible soloution anyway.
