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.

What about places that use an em dash (en dash?) to mark the beginning of a

(older) books from England, and once or twice in Esperanto.
