Hi Roselle, You're right. Just dots 4-5-6 produced the underscore with the US Computer Braille Table. No, I haven't changed anything with any of the Unicode Tables, so they're as is. I haven't really needed to do it with the Spanish yet, but thanks anyway because this will come in handy when I do. Maria
