None of the encodings commonly used and recommended for use with X11
have any graphic characters in the 128-159 range, because this range is
reserved for and used by control characters. This is not the Microsoft
world!

En and em dashes, ellipses, etc. are available under XFree86 in the ISO
10646-1 encoding in the 0x20XY range.
