Comment (by McGuive7):

 '''23230.diff​:'''
 Changes the ' - ' to a translatable (with context specified) &mdash in
 `_post_states()` and `_media_states()` in /wp-admin/includes/template.php.

 Two other things worth noting:
 1. ' - ' appears in numerous other files including:
 * /wp-admin/includes/class-wp-ms-sites-list-table.php
 * /wp-includes/class-pop3.php
 * /wp-includes/formatting.php
 * /wp-includes/functions.php
 * /wp-includes/ID3/module.tag.id3v2.php
 * /xmlrpc.php

 2. A quick search for ' - ' also revealed that many plugins utilize ' - '
 instead of —. So it might be best to stick with that ndash
 convention, instead of switching to &mdash. Not as correct
 typographically, but perhaps more consistent.

 Final thought: being as the ' - ' lives independently in a bunch of
 different files, might it be a good idea to abstract it to a more global
 variable?
