I would need to find mine, but I remember when opening I was a bit baffled by 
how they were marked. I guess I was to used to my hand done with slate and 
stylus version.

  Hmmm, again I may not be the best source for commercially produced UNO cards, 
but I thought the color was represented by the last letter.  For example 4 
yellow would be "dy", draw 2 green would be "dbg" (draw 2 green) and red skip 
would be "sr".  It wouldn't make sense for the first letter of a wild draw four 
card to represent color as that card doesn't have a color; the person using it 
chooses a color.  Again, I'm thinking the wild draw four card contains the 
braille letters "wdd".

  dots 1,3,4,6 I believe to be an orientation marks.
  draw 4 - the first symbol is the color of the card, the next is a d,4

    Does anyone know what the 3rd symbol is on the Braille Uno cards?  The
    directions do not explain.  I've also quickly looked through my resources at
    home to find it but most of my Braille resources are at work.  The last
    Braille symbol I'm most wondering about is dots 1, 3, 4, and 6, which is
    also the letter "X".  Any ideas?  I have a feeling I'm going to feel stupid
    once someone points this one out.  It is only on the number cards not the
    symbol cards like skip.  Are there directions that are perhaps missing? Also
    wondering exactly how to read the Braille on the card that says draw 4
    cards?  Much appreciated if you can share your expertise out there???
