The en dash– and em dash— are risky as they require suitable Unicode and not everyone knows to type them.
The regular dash-hyphen is less safe than the underscore_

As theducks explained some OS can't have colon: in filenames. The period. can cause issues too, depending where it is.

The file names have to work on any file-system and on any OS. The real title is in the metadata.
