Having this template literal:

`HH:MM${myValue? '' : ', XXX'}${anotherValue} - ` 

I want to replace the hyphen at the end (-) with en dash (–) by using its code –.

I tried several methods but none of them worked. For example:

`HH:MM${myValue? '' : ', XXX'}${anotherValue} – ` 

and

`HH:MM${myValue? '' : ', XXX'}${anotherValue}  + '–'`

Any ideas how to do this?

• have you tried HH:MM${myValue? '' : ', XXX'}${anotherValue} –? – Tanmay Commented Jun 25, 2018 at 13:20
• Some clarifying questions: Why can't you just replace the - with a –? Why are you using –? What do you mean is doesn't "work"? – James Kraus Commented Jun 25, 2018 at 13:21
• I know that it works like that but I need to do it without using that method – Leo Messi Commented Jun 25, 2018 at 13:28
• 2 You'll need to add more information about what you're trying to do and why that doesn't work. – James Kraus Commented Jun 25, 2018 at 13:37
• @JamesKraus There could be many different reasons why someone needs to use an html entity – Ringo Commented Oct 13, 2020 at 4:22

You can't use html entities in a template literal. But you can use the unicode equivalent of the –:

`HH:MM${myValue? '' : ', XXX'}${anotherValue} \u2013 `
