I am trying to make two hyphens trigger a short dash, and three hyphens trigger a long dash; like
:*?:---=::— :*?:--=::– except working. Here is where I have gotten to:
:*?:11:: SendLevel 1 Send 2 return SendLevel 0 :*?:21::3 this works (11 produces 2, 111 produces 3)
:*?:--:: SendLevel 1 Send – return SendLevel 0 :*?:–-::— This is the same script, but ‘1’ has been replaced by ‘-’, ‘2’ has been replaced by ‘–’, and ‘3’ has been replaced by ‘—’—“--” should produce “–” and “---” should produce “—”, but it doesn't work because Unicode is not fully supported in the version I am using (AutoHotKey_L v1.1.09.04 from autohotkey.com).

UTF-8 supports any unicode character, which pragmatically means any natural language (Coptic, Sinhala, Phonecian, Cherokee etc), as well as many non-spoken languages (Music notation, mathematical symbols, APL).
UTF-8 is a multibyte encoding able to encode the whole Unicode charset. An encoded character takes between 1 and 4 bytes. UTF-8 encoding supports longer byte sequences, up to 6 bytes, but the biggest code point of Unicode 6.0 (U+10FFFF) only takes 4 bytes.
The .ahk text file needed to be saved with UTF8-BOM encoding rather than UTF8
As pointed out in this comment, posting as an answer for more visibility.
