Monospaced fonts are usually designed in such way that various dashes
typeset next to each other form a continuous line.

You may try to insert an image with a line as Emacs support several type
of images.

Check out this function:

    (defun insert-image-file (file)
      "Insert an image from FILE in the current buffer at point"
      (interactive "fImage file name: ")
      (insert-image (create-image file)))

You may call it interactively via `M-x insert-image-file` or use it from
your Emacs Lisp code like `(insert-image-file "horizontal-line.png")`.
