Hi, I will try to answer this question for Anne.
The 7th and 8th dots are used as prefixes for capital letters and number signs in a regular 6 dot braille. In order to indicate that the letter is capital you use the 7th dot. In order to say that some dot pattern is a number you use 8th dot in a computer braille. On May 28, 3:23 am, Alex Jurgensen <[email protected]> wrote: > HI, > > What do you mean the eight dot codes.
