Hi Jackie, Left Square Bracket = Dot 6 lower g Right Square Bracket = Lower G dot 6. Normal (Round) brackets = lower g either side. George. From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie Cairns Sent: 18 April 2008 16:51 To: Access UK Mailing List 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.
