The character you are looking for is U+2014/$#8212/—/"EM DASH". Windows 1252 does define character number 151 -- 0x97 -- as an EM DASH[1], but the Document Character Set for HTML is UNICODE regardless of what the local platform uses or what the Content Transfer Encoding is (ie. charset param from the HTTP Content-Type header or META element). IOW, you want to replace occurrences of "—" with "—" or "—". [0] - <URL:http://www.eki.ee/letter/chardata.cgi?dcode=151>.
