Re: Some oddities when using a Braille display with iOS.
Normal. The backspace needs space plus dot 7 if I recall. The weird punctuation seems to go with the territory, and changes with the punctuation setting in voiceover. I suspect a lot of these issues have to do with making it compatible for an international audience, just a guess on my part.

Some oddities when using a Braille display with iOS.
There are some odd things I've noticed when using a Braille display with iOS. They mainly have to do with the display not accurately showing what VoiceOver says. I am using the North American Braille table, by the way. 1. When reading a link on the display, VO does not show the // bit of the http:// part. 2.

Re: Some oddities when using a Braille display with iOS.
Dots 1 3 chord with space bar puts you in keyboard help. Pressing key combinations will have VO announce the command. Pressing dots 1 2 chord exits keyboard help. There are two ways to press enter. Dot 8 is the standard. Dots 1 5 chord also works. Dot 7 space bar is delete. Dots 1 4 5 is also delete. Dots 7 and 8 have no meaning in contracted Braille. It is interesting that either dot pressed by itself is space.
