How do I add a non-breaking en dash?

In Swedish typographical rules intervals are specified using an en dash
rather than a normal hyphen (for example "the pipe must be 10--12 feet
long"). Inserting one isn't a problem. What is a problem is to avoid breaking
the line at the en dash. Can it be done? If so, how?

Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen inserts a nonbreaking hyphen, not an en-dash. AFAIK, there
is no nonbreaking en dash, but you can fake it by using the minus sign
(U2212), which is virtually identical and also nonbreaking.
