I can assure you that in the October version of (Japanese) Carbon  
Emacs (Package) the dashes are coded correctly. And C-u C-x =  
displays something like the right values:

       character: – (342387, #o1234563, #x53973, U+2013)
         charset: mule-unicode-0100-24ff (Unicode characters of the  
range U+0100..U+24FF.)
      code point: #x72 #x73
          syntax: _ 	which means: symbol
     buffer code: #x9C #xF4 #xF2 #xF3
       file code: #xE2 #x80 #x93 (encoded by coding system utf-8)
         display: by this font (glyph code)
      -apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-72-72-m-90-mac-roman (#xD0)
    Unicode data:
            Name: EN DASH
        Category: dash punctuation
Combining class: Spacing
   Bidi category: Other Neutrals


The decimal, octal, and hexadecimal values are always strange in GNU  
Emacs 21 and 22. Can you check what coding system is displayed for  
you in mode-line? I have "-u:" which stands for UTF-8. Do you have  
set in your .emacs file some non-UTF-8 *-coding-system?

How is it when you launch your Emacs with -Q? For the test you can  
create a small init file that extends the load-path to find w3m,  
requires w3m, and which you can load from the command line with '-l  
<your init file>'.
