Hi, Aine or -ne,
I believe you said you were from New Zealand or Australia and both of the
countries have adopted the Unified English Braille code. The BN family
supports this code. You could create braille documents using this code and
forget about using the unicode characters. Someone can correct me, but I
believe that you can translate your braille docs into print and the
characters should translate correctly.
If I remember right, the BN family doesn't support writing Nemeth Code.

Subject: [Braillenote] help with making Unicode characters display correctly
Hi List,
After reading some of the list archive last night, I was happy to
find that copying the computer braille and unicode files from my
MPower to the Apex made the Unicode characters display correctly
on the Apex. One slightly annoying thing about this though is
that any characters you haven't previously made assignments for
on the MPower still don't work. Before I moved the files over,
I'd tried the proposed solution of deleting the unicode file and
the computer braille table files I use, and then going backspace
with R in Support Information Mode to reinstall them but that had
no effect.
Anyway, today I thought it would be fun to take advantage of the
way the Apex can display one symbol with a few dot combinations
together (like the nemeth degrees symbol). But my BrailleNote
shows up some really weird table of symbols on the Braille
display when you try to do the display assignments ... Which was
fine for the degrees symbol, and the next one I tried which
happened to be less-than or equal to; but with greater-than and
greater-than or equal to in nemeth, where you have dot 4-6, dot 2
(and dots 1-5-6 for the greater-than or equal to) I can't get
past the dot 4-6. The Apex seems to think that dot 2 is a tab
indicator (and incidentally that the letter c is a tab as well)
..
This issue is rather hard to explain as I have no idea why it
acts like this, probably easiest if you are able to have a look
for yourself. Any ideas for how to make anything you want to
have a c or dot 2 in the display of work?
And if that problem doesn't happen for you guys, any idea of
where I can change a setting to get rid of the bug?
Thank you!
Best wishes,
햕ne
