Good morning,
This is my first posting to this list; please forgive that I haven't introduced
myself prior. I got involved in braille late 2007 and have found my special
vocation. I love working in this field!
Mr. Bell, you are on to something here! I did something similar in my Nemeth
code book listing the Unicode, Alt-key, and DUSCI numbers for symbols. It has
helped expedite my transcriptions.
Regarding what may be more usable, I think a heading for Alt-key entry would be
beneficial. Your list has Wordsigns for the Symbol Type Codes, what about
Groupsigns? Would that become unruly? And as a Duxbury user, DUSCI numbers
would be awesome!
Should you need assistance, I can help.
Thank you,
Stacy

Subject: [ueb-ed] UEB Symbols List
Hi all,
I'm doing some work involving the UEB Symbols List which appears as an appendix
in the "Rules of English Unified Braille 2013".
Currently the list is displayed in braille dot sequence, which for many is not
ideal, especially when searching for a specific print symbol. Consequently to
make the list as useful as possible for as many as possible, some fields are
being added to assist in sorting, etc..
I'm summarising these here, but would be interested to hear from anyone who
spots something which may have been missed, and would help in making the list
even more usable.
Columns:
1) Braille dots in Simbraille font.
2) Braille dots shown as numbers e.g. 1, 1 2, 1 4
3) The visible symbol - if any
4) Symbol Type Code (See ** below)
5) Number of braille cells
6) Unicode Value - if any
7) Unicode description
8) AKA (Also Known As)
** Symbol Type Codes:
B = braille specific
C = Currency symbols and similar
D = Diacritics
G = Greek letters
L = Letters
M = Math
N = Number
P = Punctuation
S = Shape symbols
T = Typeform indicators
W = Wordsigns
Please feel free to comment.
George Bell.
