Yugoslav Braille is a family of closely related braille alphabets used for South Slavic languagesofformer Yugoslavia, namely Serbo-Croatian, Slovene and Macedonian. It is based on the unified international braille conventions, with the letters corresponding to their Latin transliterations.

Punctuation[edit]

Unesco reports that Croatian Braille swaps the Serbian quotation marks for parentheses and the period/full stop for the apostrophe, but it's possible that this is due to a copy error; the table below follows Croatian Wikipedia, which agrees with Serbian, for these characters.[1] There is less punctuation reported for Slovene and Macedonian Braille, but what there is matches Serbian conventions.

Blank cells in the tables are unattested.

Single punctuation:

Print , .[1] ? ! '[1] ; : * - _ / & § and ¶
Croatian ⠂ (braille pattern dots-2) ⠲ (braille pattern dots-256) ⠢ (braille pattern dots-26) ⠖ (braille pattern dots-235) ⠄ (braille pattern dots-3) ⠆ (braille pattern dots-23) ⠒ (braille pattern dots-25) ⠔ (braille pattern dots-35) ⠤ (braille pattern dots-36) ⠳ (braille pattern dots-1256) ⠯ (braille pattern dots-12346) ⠬ (braille pattern dots-346)
Serbian ⠠ (braille pattern dots-6)⠤ (braille pattern dots-36) ⠌ (braille pattern dots-34)

Paired punctuation:

Print “…”[1] ‘…’ (…)[1] […] {…}
Croatian ⠦ (braille pattern dots-236)...⠴ (braille pattern dots-356) ⠄ (braille pattern dots-3)...⠄ (braille pattern dots-3) ⠶ (braille pattern dots-2356)...⠶ (braille pattern dots-2356) ⠷ (braille pattern dots-12356)...⠾ (braille pattern dots-23456)
Serbian ⠦ (braille pattern dots-236)⠄ (braille pattern dots-3)...⠠ (braille pattern dots-6)⠴ (braille pattern dots-356) ⠶ (braille pattern dots-2356)⠄ (braille pattern dots-3)...⠠ (braille pattern dots-6)⠶ (braille pattern dots-2356) ⠶ (braille pattern dots-2356)⠆ (braille pattern dots-23)...⠰ (braille pattern dots-56)⠶ (braille pattern dots-2356)

Formatting[edit]

⠼ (braille pattern dots-3456) ⠠ (braille pattern dots-6) ⠨ (braille pattern dots-46) ⠘ (braille pattern dots-45) ⠠ (braille pattern dots-6) ⠸ (braille pattern dots-456) ⠌ (braille pattern dots-34)
(num.) (end
num.)
(Caps) (CAPS) (l.c.) (emph.) (super-
script)

The superscript is reported for Croatian Braille; in Serbian Braille, is used for the virgule /. In Slovene Braille, the emphasis (bold/italic) marker is reported to be an abbreviation sign.

Croatian Wikipedia states that is used for capital letters.

References[edit]

  1. ^ a b c d e The Croatian apostrophe is unusual by international standards, and it is possible the period and apostrophe were swapped in a copy error by Unesco (2013) and copied from them to other sources. Croatian Wikipedia gives for the period and for parentheses, both agreeing with Serbian Braille.
