Hi. Thanks for your reply. The problem with the line:
include latinLetterDef6Dots.uti
is that the w in Esperanto braille is not 2456. Actually, there is no
W in the Esperanto alphabet, but it still has a representation in
Braille because it can appear in "foreign words".
2456 is the j with circumflex. W is 23456. If there is a way to
override a symbol from an included table, then you can use the
latinLetterDef6Dots.uti file, as the w is the only one that is wrong.
I am fairly certain that this table should replace the 8-dot table, as
I know of no 8-dot Braille code. To the best of my knowledge, the
six-dot Esperanto Braille code is the only one that has ever been
defined and used.
Thanks.
Aaron
