In general, computer braille is designed for words used in a computer
context that does not follow the conventions of standard text for which
standard braille is based.
For example, in grade two braille, the dropped "d" is used for the
following things "dis" (beginning of a word), "dd" (middle of a word), or
period (end of a word).
One conclusion is that no one ever thought that a period would show up at
the beginning of a word (file extension) or in the middle of a word (web
address or a file name).
When there are periods, slashes, backslashes, periods, tildes, and other
junk, it is time to think of the Computer Braille Code.
