Yeah, ok, if it means the letter before the period then it gets
the letter sign But not if it stands for someone's initial.
Or an item in an outline.
Or a one-letter abbreviation.
It's section 12 in EBAE.

BANA rules for a single letter before a period are not that
straight forward. For example, "Drop that in box b." requires a
letter sign.

That's the rule for English braille according to BANA.

Hello John!
After some more testing, I found that you are right. However, if
a single letter is followed by a period, then the letsign is not
preceding the character. Can you duplicate that?
The uper case character is defined with uplow opcode in the
Norwegian tables.
