Hi, A double in-sign is the asteribbk symbol in Grade 2 Braille.
If your document was originally in ASCII, but you translated to Braille, then you get just what you described. Sometime when a document is retranslated into ASCII, the asterisk symbol remains untranslated. My rule with important ASCII docs is never to translate them into Braille. Much of the time translations work just fine, but there are time when things go wrong.
