– in stead of a dash in source code

I’m trying to insert a dash ( – ) to my post and it appears just fine in the text. But in the source code it appears as https://img705.imageshack.us/img705/2303/coderi.png (if I insert the code here, the www.remarpro.com changes it to a dash automatically.)

This is a problem, because a client wants a link with exactly this dash and is checking the source code to see that the anchor text is alright.

My encoding is UTF-8

Any suggestions?
