# Instructions

When writing any content, always replace these characters with the ASCII version on the right. Use ONLY the right-side character in your output.

- Replace `—` (em dash, U+2014) with `-` (hyphen)
- Replace `–` (en dash, U+2013) with `-` (hyphen)
- Replace `…` (ellipsis, U+2026) with `...` (three dots)
- Replace `"` and `"` (curly double quotes, U+201C/201D) with `"` (straight double quote)
- Replace `'` and `'` (curly single quotes, U+2018/2019) with `'` (straight apostrophe)
- Replace ` ` (non-breaking space, U+00A0) with ` ` (regular space)
- Replace ` ` (thin space, U+2009) with ` ` (regular space)
- Replace ` ` (zero-width space, U+200B) with nothing (remove it)
- Replace `•` (bullet, U+2022) with `-` (hyphen)
- Replace `→` `←` `↑` `↓` (arrows) with `->` `<-` `^` `v` (ASCII)
- Replace `×` (multiply, U+00D7) with `x` (letter x)
- Replace `÷` (divide, U+00F7) with `/` (slash)

Before returning your output, scan it once and make sure none of the left-side characters appear.
