Punctuation
This section is based on a single source which has proven to be unreliable. It needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations other than UNESCO (1990, 2013). (October 2013) |
Unesco reports that Croatian Braille swaps the Serbian quotation marks for parentheses and the period/full stop for the apostrophe, but it's possible that this is due to a copy error; the table below follows Croatian Wikipedia, which agrees with Serbian, for these characters.[1] There is less punctuation reported for Slovene and Macedonian Braille, but what there is matches Serbian conventions.
Blank cells in the tables are unattested.
Single punctuation:

Formatting
(num.) | (end num.) |
(Caps) | (CAPS) | ( l.c. )
|
(emph.) | (super- script) |
The superscript is reported for Croatian Braille; in Serbian Braille, ⠌ is used for the virgule /. In Slovene Braille, the emphasis (bold/italic) marker ⠸ is reported to be an abbreviation sign.
Croatian Wikipedia states that ⠠ is used for capital letters.

- ^ a b c d e The Croatian apostrophe ⠲ is unusual by international standards, and it is possible the period and apostrophe were swapped in a copy error by Unesco (2013) and copied from them to other sources. Croatian Wikipedia gives ⠲ for the period and ⠶ for parentheses, both agreeing with Serbian Braille.
