That has been my observation also.

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 just wanted to make sure that the em dash correctly translates into
Braille. 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.
