The following information re United English Braille
 Code (UEB) has been sent
to us from vision2020uk.org.uk
At the end of last year, UKAAF (the UK Association for Accessible Formats)
voted to adopt the Unified English Braille code (UEB) for the United
Kingdom. The changes are not dramatic and it is hoped that the new code will
make braille easier to learn, easier to convert into print, and easier to
share with other English Speaking Countries amongst other things. If you
would like to find out more about the adoption of UEB then please visit the
Frequently Asked Questions section on the UKAAF website:
<http://www.ukaaf.org/formats-and-guidance/177>

If you would like to see the differences between the current braille code
and UEB these are also on the UKAAF website:
