OK, weird. How did you know to put %E2%80%93 in there in place of hyphen? Or am i missing something again?
Dunno. I never added %E2%80%93 to the link myself. I just copy-pasted the link as it appeared in the address bar and the system added it automagically.

As for the book, I'm not paying 50 bucks for the Kindle version or 60 for the paperback. Sure, 800 pages is a lot of content, but I'd rather have an 80 page summary.
Could be some function of the browser. Or the mobile address. But I did not see m in it.

The short version of the Israeli Nobel Prize winners and their analysis of heuristics is in a book titled The Undoing Project.

"%E2%80%93" is a Unicode hyphen (EN DASH, Code Point 8211) encoded in UTF-8 and then URL-Encoded. The browser will automatically use that when copying an url to the clipboard.

Chrome. Windows 10.

Or at the moment, Safari on phone. With a lot of sites it sticks an m in the address. Most websites don’t care.

Here is one off Safari.

Weird. I use Chrome and mine handles those links correctly.

Should not have to. Writing the en dash as "-" or as "%E2%80%93" makes no difference.

You can test it yourself. Copy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak–end_rule

and paste it into the address bar.

You'll get the exact same result if you used

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak%E2%80%93end_rule

Your mistake was to chop "–end_rule" off the URL. It's like writing an address on an envelope and leaving the street number and name out. The letter won't get where it's supposed to go because it needs the full address to get there.

Yes, they do. The added "m" gets you to the mobile version of the non-m site. It's stripped down to cut down on the size of the download.

Click on each of these two to see the difference:
