David,

We force the speech to always say "star" when in a password edit box. However, braille will display whatever is currently shown visually. Some visually use a star and some use a filled circle and others can use something else. In the case of IE's password edit boxes, they use unicode 25cf. The reason this shows up as a question mark is currently 7.0 beta 1 converts all text from unicode to ANSI before being displayed on the braille display. Since unicode 25cf doesn't map into your code page it converts to a question mark.

Note before 7.0 ships we'll have braille fully unicode so you'll see the exact character that gets displayed. However you have unicode 25cf mapped in the unicode braille table is how it will get displayed.

Regards,
Doug

When typing in my password, i.e on a website, the speech reports this as '***'; which is perfect. But on the Braille display, it shows up as '???'. This even if my display is set to have different dot-represenatios for * and ?. Why is this, and can it be fixed? If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original
