WordPress converting ‘ to ’ and – to –?

This is wptexturize which includes a number of other transforms too.

You can disable wptexturize completely with

add_filter( 'run_wptexturize', '__return_false' );

which you can put in your child theme’s functions.php, or in a one-file plugin or similar. I can’t see a way to disable just these rules specifically.
