Hi Jackie,

 

Left Square Bracket = Dot 6 lower g

Right Square Bracket = Lower G dot 6.

 

Normal (Round) brackets = lower g either side.

Subject: [access-uk] A Braille question about round and
square brackets

 

Hi Listers

 

Could someone with a good working knowledge of modern
Braille please tell me what the difference is between round
and square brackets?  I know it is the lower G, or dots 2 3
5 6.  But, these days, there is the infuriating necessity to
have to use a dot 6 before the open bracket, then the dot 3
at the end of the bracket.  But do you use these additional
dot 6 and dot 3 distinctions for round or square brackets?
The Primer I have doesn't exactly make some things crystal
clear.

 

I'm doing the BTEC Advanced certificate in grade 2 English
Braille, and just need to clarify this for myself as I'm a
bit confused to be honest.

 

Thanks.

 

Jackie
