Hello Meharaj All the English speaking countries. Have shifted to UEB (Unified English Braille)
In India, Braille Council of India is working on analyzing its implications on using UEB along with Indian language braille code. Thus, as of now old code continues. Unfortunately, this code is not standardized. For example, the standards document of Indian braille says that we would follow British English braille. However, most braille presses print braille signs of punctuation marks or mathematical symbols in literary text as prescribed in "English Braille American Edition" (EBEA). We do not have soft copy of Indian braille code available anywhere. Thus at this point for all practical purposes, you should follow US English literary braille guidelines available at: http://www.brailleauthority.org/literary/literary.html you can download and read brf file of this guideline from here. Do not bother about the warning on this page about this guideline being abolished since current guideline used in Braille books in US is UEB. However, UEB is not yet adopted in India and there is not much chance of it being used for coming few years. Good thing about using braille display is that digital text can be converted to any English braille in few minutes. you just need to have right tables on your device.
