Dear Elizabeth,
You are right that the left and right brace and greater and less than signs
are translated in to words in braille which makes them jarring and
cumbersome to readers. After checking books in the collection in which the
left and right brackets were used, we can tell you confidently they are
translated correctly. The left bracket is the parenthesis sign with dot 6
before it. The right bracket is the parenthesis sign with dot 3 after it.
We prefer not to use parentheses to denote picture captions, descriptions
and notes to readers because parentheses appear frequently in the body of
books as punctuation.
Evan and Lissi

Please use left and right parentheses as other signs such as greater than,
left brace,and left and right brackets get written out in words in the
braille translation.
