Punctuation
This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (January 2014) |
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.

- ^ 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.
