Overview of Dot Combinations
On this page you will find the dot combinations for the alphabet and other signs, contractions and punctuation marks that we use in our instructions for the braille drawings.
The groupsigns, wordsigns and contractions (e.g. ch, in or for) are capitalised in our instructions so that they are easier to recognise as such.
