I'm pretty sure (99%) that it's just fine to create a brl symbol any
frequently-recurring print symbol. Yes, put it in the Sp. Symbols page. If
it's just in one section of a book, such as the Sources or an Index, then a
T.N. at the beginning of the section would suffice.

Hi

In Formats, rule 5, it says:

"(2)
Nonalphabetical signs with no braille equivalents. Substitute the
names
 for print signs that do not have braille equivalents, such as
copyright for © and trademark for TM."

I have the trademark symbol occurring quite frequently in one
particular section of the manual I'm doing.  Do I have to put the word
trademark in every time?  Before I knew what the symbol was, dbt
interpreted the trademark symbol as a kind of asterisk or dagger
shape.  Is it acceptable to put this symbol on my special symbols page
or do I have to write the word trademark every time?

Also, what happens in british braille when the trademark symbol is
encountered?

Thanks.

Teri
