They were invent long ago—long before keyboards, but the terminally-online folks here forgot that pen & paper also happened before & folks writing English used all sorts of symbols, such as þͤ for “the”. But I guess if it doesn’t fit on ANSI keyboards invented for typewriters 100 years ago with 100-year-ago limitation, these symbols cannot possible exist in contemporary times lol.

What is a “standard” keyboard? No such thing as every region has different keyboards & variants inside those regions. I can use AltGr on my desktop keyboard & holding the hyphen key on mobile allows easy selection of em dash & en dash.

They have different meanings where the lengths help at a glance such as using en dash for a compound adjective or em dash for a longer pause for a clause. This aides in reading even if you only pick up on it subconsciously.
