[Christopher Adams]

Eric,

The relevant commands are:

U2013 – "--." EN DASH
U2014 — "---" EM DASH

U2018 ‘ "<'" "'<" LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
U2019 ’ ">'" "'>" RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
U201c “ "<"" ""<" LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
U201d ” ">"" "">" RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK

Not sure about ellipsis…
