– showing in Live panel instead of - , Dreamweaver - How do I fix?

I'm working with code from elsewhere, using Dreamweaver to edit before I put it into a database for upload to Wordpress.

Live view (and browsers) render the hyphens as –.

How do I fix this?

I found what was causing it -

I'm editing html blocks, not complete pages...

adding

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

</head>

above the block

fixes it.
