Okay, so a bracketed hash mark or pound sign above the number 3 on a keyboard
is not an option? I was looking for something visually distinct and it turned
out the OCR converted all the blue circles to pound signs, so all I would have
to do is bracket them. Like this:
[#]
If that is not readable in Braille, I can swap to 2 asterisks, but that will
not stand out as well.
Thanks for the feedback, though; this is what I need to know...
