En Dash () When to Use an En Dash (N Dash) Punctuation Marks
It is called n dash because in some traditional fonts, it is as wide as the letter "n." An endash is generally used in two situations. First, it may be used to indicate a range—of numbers, of distances, or of times—between two terms. Second, ndash replaces a hyphen if one of the terms connected by the dash contains more than one word.
