supplemented by an additional letter to mark long vowels:

⠸ (braille pattern dots-456)⠁ (braille pattern dots-1) ⠸ (braille pattern dots-456)⠑ (braille pattern dots-15) ⠸ (braille pattern dots-456)⠊ (braille pattern dots-24) ⠸ (braille pattern dots-456)⠕ (braille pattern dots-135) ⠸ (braille pattern dots-456)⠥ (braille pattern dots-136)
ā ē ī ō ū

(Māori Braille uses the same convention for long vowels.)[1]

Unlike print Hawaiian, which has a special letter ʻokina for the glottal stop, Hawaiian Braille uses the apostrophe , which behaves as punctuation rather than as a consonant:

ʻāina
ʻĀina

That is, the order to write ʻĀisapostrophe, cap sign, length sign, A.

Punctuation is as in English Braille.
