Use ":mapping=tex-text" when loading the font, either directly as in

\DeclareFontFamily{U}{gentium}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{gentium}{m}{n}{<-> "Gentium:mapping=tex-tex"}{}

or through the fontspec package as in

\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Gentium}

This will map TeX ligatures, like -- for an en-dash and --- for an em- 
dash, to the corresponding Unicode code points.
