There are also longer dashes that often don't work in ereaders. I can't type them.

Ah, but you can, using either snippets or Compose key. The Compose key sequence is Ctrl_R, -, -, - and that gets you — (em dash). It shows up okay on Amazon ebooks and, of course, their printed books from PDFs.
The 2m and 3m dash are not in Compose key, so you have to make your own using .XCompose:
You type in Ctrl_r, 2, m and the 2m dash just appears.
You type in Ctrl_r, 3, m and the 3m dash just appears.
<Multi_key> <2> <m> : "⸺" (2 em dash)
<Multi_key> <3> <m> : "⸻" (3 em dash)
The Multi_key has to be set as right Ctrl key and .XCompose is just an editable text file of ideas of your own making.
The much longer dash is useful for page numbering.
If you do not have a linux machine you can do the same stuff via the snippets built into calibre.
