HI.
Well I've just checked this out with our internal Braille Oracle and he
tells me that in 1992 when the UK Braille rules changed the dot 5 g dot 5 C
abbreviations became non-standard Braille, and were theoretically only to be
used in a religious brailed context.
Thus again taking the rules at there most literal the translation table is
correct.

Now I've also tried to add one of these into the pronunciation dictionary
and I suspect the difficulty here is that in both edit boxes you are
expected to write computer Braille and that is probably why it wont work,
although I'm sure someone can explain this point far more eloquently.

Best.

They are not braille signs at all so I am not sure if you could get them to
work.  dot 5 g is not a short form contracktion.  God would have to be
spelled out I think.  Unless someone else has a different idea.
