Hi all,

There's a Unicode character (see the attached file) that should be translated as two hyphens instead of one. For what it's worth, Jaws translates it as two hyphens when grade 2 is turned on, but brltty translates it to one. Both display it as dots 368 when in computer braille.

At first I thought the character, though unicode, was the equivalent of 0x9C, but that's not right because when I turn on Jaws grade 2 and look at my text table, en_US, it still displays that character as dots 368.

When the attached line is inserted into my contraction table it does produce two hyphens, at least on my system, but I'm sure it's not done the right way.

Anybody feel like being a kindergarten teacher yet again? Or is there an article that explains all this Unicode stuff in dunce language?

Thanks,
