Heard about the am-dash (https://www.theamdash.com/) on the latest episode of 99 Percent Invisible.
As I understand it, there's no unicode for the am-dash yet. While I have downloaded Times New Human and Areal, I wouldn't now how to actually get the am-dash in a LaTeX-generated document, since the command to get it is more than a single character.
I hacked something together, but obviously that's not the same.
Does anybody know how to do it properly? Or maybe someone has already contacted Cocogun to ask if they'd be willing to collaborate on a project to make a tiny LaTeX package or something, just so we can use the am-dash in our LaTeX-typeset documents?

I don't understand what makes this "unusable by AI". I mean, for *today*, sure, because the sequence "am-" isn't yet familiar to the models. But they're continually ingesting new data; as "am-" comes into use, LLMs will eventually incorporate and regurgitate it just like any other sequence.
I'd *rather* push back on the blanket assumption that an em-dash automatically means the text was AI generated. That assumption is just dumb and destructive.
