That's used in Swedish printed texts, that is if you mean the -.

Example:

- What are you doing, asked the man angrily.
- Oh, nothing, just trimming my electric donkey bottom biter, she replied.

This is used in hand written texts also.

What about places that use an em dash (en dash?) to mark the beginning of a
spoken quotation, in a story, etc.  I've seen this only ever used in some
(older) books from England, and once or twice in Esperanto.
