Punctuation

[edit]

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:

Print , .[1] ? ! '[1] ; : * - _ / & § and ¶
Croatian ⠂ (braille pattern dots-2) ⠲ (braille pattern dots-256) ⠢ (braille pattern dots-26) ⠖ (braille pattern dots-235) ⠄ (braille pattern dots-3) ⠆ (braille pattern dots-23) ⠒ (braille pattern dots-25) ⠔ (braille pattern dots-35) ⠤ (braille pattern dots-36) ⠳ (braille pattern dots-1256) ⠯ (braille pattern dots-12346) ⠬ (braille pattern dots-346)
Serbian ⠠ (braille pattern dots-6)⠤ (braille pattern dots-36) ⠌ (braille pattern dots-34)

Paired punctuation:

Print “…”[1] ‘…’ (…)[1] […] {…}
Croatian ⠦ (braille pattern dots-236)...⠴ (braille pattern dots-356) ⠄ (braille pattern dots-3)...⠄ (braille pattern dots-3) ⠶ (braille pattern dots-2356)...⠶ (braille pattern dots-2356) ⠷ (braille pattern dots-12356)...⠾ (braille pattern dots-23456)
