write key stroke combination as strings to get the output as string

[ritch_by_nature]

I wonder If there's a way I can use key stroke to generate an "M-Dash" string. For example, If I insert into a constant string "Alt+0151" then I get "—" as output string

Here is a–z (I used an n-dash, which is the proper punctuation for a "range").
