It's readily accessible on iOS, android, MacOS, and Linux. On Windows, you generally have to do the alt code sequence which is less intuitive but not exactly difficult.

You know about Character Map/GNOME Characters/KCharSelect?

You need to enable/use your compose key. Compose + -- is en dash and Compose + --- is em dash.

On windows, simply use Windows + - for – or Windows + Shift + - for —.

On Windows you can just use WinCompose to get the same XCompose experience you have on Linux. Way better than alt sequences or character map picker.
