AI overview
The dash is a punctuation mark that appears as a long horizontal line, similar to a hyphen but longer and sometimes positioned higher on the line. It comes in several versions—the en dash, em dash, and horizontal bar—each varying in length, and these different dashes serve distinct purposes in writing and typography.
