O No no no, you Can't and Never Could use dot five C in Christine!  My name
and my dear English/braille teacher taught me Never, Never to do that, I
never did and resented anyone else trying to do that. dot five c is for
christ and not for Christine nor Christmas! lol----- Original Message -----

No it wasn't specific.  For instance, you could use dot5 c in the name
Christine.

I hadn't thought of that about the Christ sign, though if that word appears
in another faith's religious context couldn't the sign be used?  I think
what I meant is it is not faith specific.
