I'm not a .net expert, but couldn't you just put the characters in the class?
Or put the codepoint in the class, or thier char references (xhtml/xml).

en dash – U+2013 &ndash; &#x2013; or &#8211;  
em dash — U+2014 &mdash; &#x2014; or &#8212;   

[a-zA-Z\d.,!&/\(\)#\$?£àÀâÂäÄáÁéÉèÈêÊëËìÌîÎïÏòÒôÔöÖùÙûÛüÜçÇ’ñ€\|%\^\*@`~\+;:\-'\s\\&quot;&#x2013;&#x2014;]+

[a-zA-Z\d.,!&/()#\$?£àÀâÂäÄáÁéÉèÈêÊëËìÌîÎïÏòÒôÔöÖùÙûÛüÜçÇ’ñ€\|%\^*@`~+;:-'\s\"–—]+
