Some methods:

1.) copy this: —

2.) (under linux): Compose + - - -

3.) what you probably intended: use the html code:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/special-characters#ascii-aliases
\paper {
  #(include-special-characters)
}
\markup "—"

4.) Using the unicode number (x2014):
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/special-characters#unicode
\markup { \char ##x2014 }
