    Two consecutive hyphens are usually treated as an em dash, hence auto-correct doing the conversion for you. (This site does it, too. Hit View Source on my comment, and the next sentence should have two hyphens instead of a unicode em dash.) Otherwise, if you're on a US keyboard layout, you can hold down the Alt key and then punch in 0 1 5 1 on the numeric keypad -- that will give you a Unicode em dash if you're not in a word processor.

    Regardless, this jackass has serious punctuation issues in the first place. Their grammar is about as consistent as their ideology.
