Braille characters in other languages (self.Blind)
submitted by tacos247365
Hello!
I have been learning Swedish for a while now and have recently been pairing my braille display with my iPad so that I can read the language. I’m struggling to figure out how to write special characters in braille on my braille display so that it is properly interpreted when used as a keyboard for my iPad. The characters include:
å which voice over pronounces as (A ring above, or A ring)
ä- pronounced as (A dyaresis)
And ö- pronounced as (O dyaresis)
When I am reading these characters they show up in 8-dot braille. Is this the way that I also must type them? I’ve tried switching my braille output to 8-dot braille, but I can’t use the backspace and enter key when typing. Nothing shows up but the 6 dots. Am I using 8-dot braille wrong? Is there another way to enter these characters/can anyone tell me the braille symbols for them? I’m not really sure what they are called so I don’t know how to search for the characters online.

In UEB, these show as 3-cell characters. For example, å is ⠘⠫⠁
It seems that you're not using UEB if you're seeing computer braille, so I suppose you have 3 choices:
1, use 8-dot braille on your display.
2, use the appropriate braille code for the language you are learning,
or 3, use UEB with the awareness that you'll need 3 braille cells per letter.

I looked up Swedish braille code and it shows the following.
å or a with a ring as dots 16
ä or a with dyaresis as dots 345
ö or o with a dyaresis as dots 246
Hope this helps.
