There must be a one to one correspondence between ascii characters and computer Braille code. Therefore, we never use two cells to indicate one letter, or punctuation mark.

In other words, in print, the "equals" sign is one blob on the page. That is why we have no dot 6 for caps in computer Braille, et cetera. Makes sense. I learned what I know of computer Braille very easily, I would type on my PC and read it on my Braille display and it was easy because I knew what I had typed, so hang in there!
