Punctuation

Serbian and Croatian Braille differ in quotation marks, brackets, and in the period/full stop vs. apostrophe.^[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:

Print	,	.^[1]	?	!	'^[1]	;	:	*	-	_	/	&	§ ¶

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.

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