I found my copy of a web page of Hable tables.
The signs given so far match.
I don't remember the web address so I have attached the text file.

Thanks for the dots for percent and hash signs two of you have just

Do you have a braille device that can read brf, brl files? I could
send you a list I made when I was teaching braille.
If so, send me an email at [email protected]

It will bepend on which Braille encoding you are using. For
contracted UEB $ is dot 4 then "s" . I can't remember UEB for
percent. 8 dot Braille would use dots 1 4 6. which is the "sh"
contraction for English Braille.

Hello,
I can’t find a list of BSI configurations for the signs like
dollar, percent, etc.
Is there such a list?

Tables of Braille Codes
This page is currently focused on Unified English Braille (UEB) for Grade 1.
That is, basic English characters, digits 0 through 9, and punctuation. Maybe
someday I’ll expand beyond that and learn contractions.
Letters
The below table shows the brille codes for the letters ‘a’ through ‘z’. The
code by itself will generate a lower case letter. This is consistent with typing
on a keyboard, press a key and get the lower case symbol. For a capital letter,
‘shift’ is used on a keyboard. The ‘shift’ key is known as a modifier.
Capital Letters
For braille input, the cell button 6 is the modifier key. It is mostly
analogous to the ‘shift’ key on a keyboard. The difference is on a keyboard you
press and hold down the ‘shift’ key and press the desired letter to generate
its capital. For braille input, the modifier cell button(s) is pressed and
released, then the cell buttons are pressed for the desired letter. To generate
a capital letter, first press and release the 6 cell button then press
the cell buttons for the desired letter.
If you want to type a word in all capitals, press the 6 key twice, then the
word. All letters will be capitalized until a non letter is typed.
There is also an option closer to caps-lock. By pressing the 6 key three times,
everything you type until the end of line will be capitalized. To exit
capital mode, press keys 1, 8 or 2, 8 (as you’ll see in the Hable One
reference).

Digits (0 - 9)
The digits 0 through 9 are the same as the characters ‘a’ through ‘j’. A
combination of modifier keys is used to generate a number much like the 6 key
is used as a modifier key to generate a capital letter.
Quickly press and release the keys 3, 4, 5, 6 at the same time to start
entering digits. As long as you’re entering valid digit codes, digits will be
generated.
Once you enter a non digit code, something other than codes for ‘a’ through
‘j’, you will be out of digit mode and back into letters and punctuation.

***Punctuation
These values are taken from a manual from Hable One, though any mistakes are
mine. I have done some manipulation to get them into the appropriate markdown
format. The first table is a subset of symbols based on python. The next table
is the complete list from the Hable One manual.
Punctuation subset
**The following table is the list of symbols found in Python’s
string.punctuation module. You can find the list yourself by running (if you
have a command
line and Python installed):
python -c "import string; print(string.punctuation)"
The table is not in the same order as the python string. It’s mostly
alphabetical, taken from the Hable One list. I made a few changes (e.g.,
grouping
less and greater than, swapping the order of closing/opening symbols).
