WordPress converts the hyphen to the dash in the title automatically

In my WordPress blog, i found it would convert the hyphen character to the dash character automatically.

For example, I create a blog post with the following TITLE:

Read More

Wikipedia – the free encyclopedia

However, when I checked the post, I found the title was displayed as:

Wikipedia – the free encyclopedia

And I check the source code of HTML:

<title>Wikipedia – the free encyclopedia</title>

So, The hyphen (-) was changed to the dash (–), why was this?

How to disable such conversion?
