Is there a category or name for characters such as smart quotes, and that dash always breaks?

Many of them have probably experienced copying some text from Word into a website form or something like that, and all quotation marks ('), double quotation marks (") and hyphen (-) are distorted. I believe that quotes are called "Smart Quotes" "or" Typographic Quotes ", but I don’t know the name of the dash. Is there a category that includes these characters? Is there any more?

Distinctive features of this category: Available with a regular qwerty keyboard and easily visually flawed for its ASCII equivalent.

This question seems to address the same issue: How do I convert Word smart quotes and em characters to strings? Also, maybe they are called em dash "?

There is at least 1114111 Unicode code. My American standard keyboard makes available those between 1 and 127 (base 10).

When you go beyond this range, you begin to fall into either old styles or more modern UTF8 (or other Unicode) code points. Many of these code points are easily accessible from a keyboard somewhere in the world. But because of the comfort of your own home or office, you will find a rather small subset of 1.1 million that will be easily accessible from your keyboard.
