Hasn't been a problem for me (my browser (Firefox on Linux) matches ASCII dashes against en dashes and em dashes too), but you could try using a Compose key shortcut? On Linux at least, the Compose key shortcuts[1] for en dash and em dash are easy: minus-minus-period and minus-minus-minus respectively.

I wouldn't have even noticed the character change otherwise. Maybe it started working again when Firefox added the ability to ignore diacritics. I guess that goes further than diacritics and works by general transliteration to ASCII.
