Twitter has rescued the semicolon for me as a way to save a character since an em-dash requires an extra space.


While some publications do add space on either side of an em-dash—including, apparently, the submitted website—I was always taught not to. It certainly isn't required.


You shouldn't do that with an em-dash.
