Hi Monica,
No, writing symbols out I think would be a bad idea. Not only is it
supurfluous, it defeats any kind of verbocity options a user may have set.
Or if they're a braille reader, like Sarah mentioned, seeing things spelled
out instead of proper braille symbols could be confusing.
I stick with the asterisk *, because most lower verbocity settings
pronounce this character, whereas the dash is often times ignored.
HTH,
Jake
