You can make custom tag for this. You find information about how to do that here:
http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/customization/components/datatypes/ezxmltext/custom_tags

You need to use the HTML entity to display the em dash if you are not using any of the following codepages:
adobe-standard-encoding
cp874
hp-roman8
macintosh
next
windows-1250
windows-1251
windows-1252
windows-1253
windows-1254
windows-1255
windows-1256
windows-1257
windows-1258

If you use any of those codepages you can also just use the character directly.

Thank you. I use ISO8859-2, so none of the ones in the above list.
I found a not-very-nice solution, using 

before it <custom name='emdash'></custom> after it

by butting into emdash.tpl a &#8212; sign.

Is it possible to solve it by a more simple way? I think something in content.ini like

TagList[literal]=<pre>;</pre>;htmlspecialchars

Unfortunately this way there are 3 ; signs in this row...

TagList[emdash]=&#8212;;;

So it does not work.

I would like to solve it by using a simple 

<emdash>

sign in the input text. Any ideas?

Could you please, Bård, insert an "em dash" into this text area - as an example - for me?

Zoltan, that is not possible to do. We do not allow special characters to be inserted into the forum and the characterset here on ez.no is latin1--which does not support em dash.
