They do on the qwerty keyboards, I was just going through the practice to see if some odd combination had been assigned that task for the braille devices--obviously not yet. Richard

It is hoped they'll add it in a future software build.

I discovered a couple symbols I did not know we could create on a braille device with one keystroke. These are with contractions off: Dots 8, 1,4,5,6 equals the ¢ (cents sign) dots 8,1,5,6 equals the £ (pound sign) They don't show up in braille quite right, but VoiceOver speaks them just fine and they translate to print just fine. I did not find an equivalent to the double tap and hold though.
