Can anyone help me?

I'm remaping the braille charts that I have on my personal website. I'm gonna clean those up, and put them on the braille section of blindvi.org. I have the entire list of punctuation in a chart and I only use a few puntuation marks so I'd like to know the dot numbers of all of these if you all don't mind. You can submit your file to me via this ( Read more... )

opening apostrophe
closing apostrophe

Well, apostrophe is just dot-3; perhaps you mean opening and closing single quotation marks? Those are dot-6 + dots-236 (opening) and dots-356 + dot-3 (closing). At least in the US; I think the UK, the closing is dot-6 + dots-356 or something like that.

Normal print uses the same sign ' (or ’ for the 'curly' variant) for both apostrophe and closing single quotation mark, but Braille differentiates between them, since they are kind of two different marks which just happen to look the same. So calling them 'closing apostrophe' seems a bit odd to me.

astrick

dots-25 + dots-25. (Spelled 'asterisk', by the way.)

slash

dots-34 (same as 'st')

parentheses

dots-2356 (lowered 'g', or 'were')

opening bracket
closing bracket

dot-6 + dots-2356 (opening), dots-2356 + dot-3 (closing)

opening quotation

dots-236 (same as 'his' or question mark). And closing is dots-356 (same as 'was').

LOL the spelling isn't the greatest sorry ;) and thanks for the help. The reason why I asked is I'm doing a text only chart for those who can't see imaged charts. And that was the only grade one chart I needed questions on.
