Thanks; I was looking for this in the manual but couldn't find it.
Is it there?

Also, do you know why the space after the colon doesn't show up in the
output?

%-----
\version "2.6.3"

emdash = #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x2014))

\header {
  title = \markup { "This is an em dash: " \emdash }
}

\score {
  { a' }
}

Best,
