No, the em dash doesn't translate properly into Braille, at least not the way Bookshare does it. The convention for Braille is to use two hyphens for the em dash, but for some reason Bookshare's Braille translator just puts in one hyphen.

I know not all characters do. And I know that there was recent discussion about it but I have to confess I really didn't pay enough attention to it. I figured I could look it up in the manual. Some books use tons of em dashes. Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading - Loyalty in Death - J.D. Robb $10 Off Any Purchase at 39DollarGlasses! (discount applied at checkout)
