Why use name when it is easier to use the numerical value? Something like — should be good for —. (You can get the code value by doing the C-u C-x = on the displayed character.) ,---- | character: — (displayed as —) (codepoint 8212, #o20024, #x2014) | ^^^^^^ | name: EM DASH `---- ---------------------------------------------------------------- I see that the entity names are listed in http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/byalpha.html ---------------------------------------------------------------- Load the above file within Emacs. M-x eww http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/byalpha.html RET or M-x browse-url-emacs RET http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/byalpha.html RET M-x load-library RET shr RET M-x shr-render-buffer RET Write the resulting buffer to an Org buffer or a text file. Then C-s for the unicode codepoint, C-a to get the entity name. You are done.
