The original file was HTML, and I already converted it to ePub using calibre (the intermediate step was to import html into a rtf file, maybe it was not necessary). I wanted to do some minor changes, and ran into this problem, so the only solution was to unzip the files, and use vi.

[Edit] To restate the problem, if you have an epub file that has this character, and try to edit it, you lose all the unicode dashes.
