What's the ASCII character code for '—'?

ascii, character-encoding, special-characters, unicode

Solution

Quotation from wiki (Em dash)

When an actual em dash is unavailable—as in the ASCII character set—a double ("--") or triple hyphen-minus ("---") is used. In Unicode, the em dash is U+2014 (decimal 8212).

Em dash character is not a part of ASCII character set.

Problem

I am working on decoding text. I am trying to find the character code for the `—` character, not to be mistaken for `-`, in ASCII. I have tried unsuccessfully. Does anybody know how to convert it?
