That depends on the printer or the email program used. I have found that a lot of computer braille (unicode) symbols do not come out the way I wanted. I use UEB a lot for math and proofs instead. It takes up more room and you have to learn it, but it makes sense once you get it and is the best thing for math that the bn actually supports. I'm still not sure why we don't have nemeth support, but there is still UEB if you can get used to it.
