It does indeed - it's in different character positions in codepage 1252 and UTF-8. That's why, I think, in plain text files it's best to do as PG do and represent it as "--". This can easily be replaced with a "real" dash on other systems. In HTML, provided one represents it as the "—" entity, there's no problem.
