Re: [jlreq-d] Why are Japanese glyph variant of HYPHEN, EN DASH, EM DASH important for us? (#69)

Although dashes/ellipses are usually repeated in body texts in Japanese, there are cases where only one Japanese dash/ellipsis is used solely.
1. A Japanese dash is used to indicate a section or interval between two points, places or times, for ex. 東京―京都. (Please pay attention to that an en-dash is used instead for this purpose in Western typography).
2. A single Japanese dash is used before and after a sub-title, for ex., 20世紀前半のタイポグラフィ―伝統性と革新性をめぐって―
3. A single Japanese ellipsis needs to be used in a line in a table of contents, when the space between the end of a chapter/section title and the first digit of its corresponding page number becomes narrower than the total width of (two EMs + 1/4 EM allocated to the fixed space before the number), as shown in the example below.
