Estonian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Estonian language.[1]
Alphabet
[edit]Estonian Braille uses the international (read French) norms for the letters ä ö ü. Š and ž are mirror-images of s and z, a strategy found in other alphabets. Õ is the mirror-image of ä, as the mirror-image of o is used for ö.
When c q w x y are used in foreign names, they have their normal values of ⠉⠟⠺⠭⠽.
Punctuation
[edit]Punctuation is nearly identical to that of Finnish Braille.
![]() , | ![]() . | ![]() ' | ![]() ? | ![]() ! | ![]() ; | ![]() : | ![]() - | ![]() * | ![]() / |
![]() ![]() “ ... ” | ![]() ![]() ( ... ) | ![]() ![]() [ ... ] |
Formatting
[edit]![]() (digit) | ![]() (caps) | ![]() (italics) | ![]() (bold) |
