Hi Lucy,
    Do you mean it's a bad character in the Catalog add-on, ProductCart or both?
As an aside a quick Google led me to a page about them on the alistapart website - a site I really like. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/emen/ and it's worth a read to check your using the correct character!

We use em dashes in the description of our products. Unfortunately, it appears as a bad character and interferes with our Catalog add-on. 

Does anyone know why em dashes are forbidden? Is there an alternative, other than two dashes?

Thanks,
Lucy Zoe
