Hi Flor,
I think you've perhaps missed the purpose of this table.
It represents what dots will appear when a specific ASCII
character is sent to a braille embosser, and/or what dots
will appear on the DBT screen when you are editing a Braille
file. (Emphasis on "Braille")
Irrespective of language, rule table or whatever, If I
wanted to make dots 4,5,6 appear in my braille file, I would
press the underscore key on my PC's keyboard. If I wanted
dots 1,4,6 to appear I would press the % key on the
keyboard.
This is entirely different from what we would type into a
.DXP, text or print file which we would then translate. A
per cent sign in British braille is dots 2,5 followed by
1,2,3,4. If I wanted to type that directly into my braille
file, I would type "3p". (without the quotes of course).
I hope I've made this clear now.
George.

Hi,
George: The > [greater-than] and < [less-than] signs in
braille appear conused with each other in that table. <
[less-than] should be the braille GH - dots126 - sign; and >
[greater-than] should be the braille AR - dots345 - sign.
Also, the % [percent] sign is written up as Per Cent, which
(I would hold) is misleading. if I'm not mistaken [the
cent sign would be brailled in two cells as dot4c]!

Hi Jean,
Eureka - I found it!
Help - Codes, Styles & Templates - Codes -
Miscellaneous - Embosser Character Table.
(At least I hope that's what you want.)
George.

Is there a listing in DBT Help that shows the
keyboard equivalents for ASCII braille? Example: the "th"
sign is a question mark?
I can't find anything.
