His name is probably Gregory.

Didn’t really notice until now, though it seems some English speaking people used these dashes in their books apparently but I don’t think I ever read one of them. It’s hilarious to see these cultural differences may cause problems like this. :)
Eh, I meant the whole pyramids but fair enough.
No worries. I tried to look on my English novels first but couldn’t find anything like this. I was almost certain that I saw this in one of the Roald Dahls but nope. Well, learned the official name of it too, quotation dash. Thanks.
By the way, Meta (Windows key) +

I definitely wasn’t trying to write a list, it was a riddle or a conversation. What I was trying to do is this:
Though, it seems speech dash is not a thing in English. So I understand the confusion.
Apparently there is already a separate symbol for speech dash, which is —. However its keyboard shortcut is obscure and I couldn’t remember it later, but Markdown already covered this it seems. Writing

.Thanks for making me noticing about it, learned something new today.
How is it breaking accessibility?
I see. Then I’m glad I don’t use whatever the crap Zuckerberg comes with. Though most people I know uses it which sucks.
Well, that’s the reason why I didn’t write it like that. I wanted it to look like a dash, just like in novels.
-Why there are pyramids in Egypt?
-Because Brits couldn’t moved them to British Museum.
Maybe I’m out of the loop here but I don’t know both. For a chat app, I’m mostly satisfied with Signal.
