Romanian alphabet |
Romanian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Romanian language. It has the 25 letters of basic French Braille (no w) plus the following additional letters:
 ă |
 î |
 ș |
 ț |
 â |
Much of the punctuation and formatting (caps, italics) is like old French Braille:
- ⠲ [period], ⠢ ?, ⠶⠀⠶ (...), ⠦⠀⠴ “...”, ⠔ *,
as seen in the chart at right. In addition, the dash and ellipsis are both
- ⠤⠄ —, ...,
values which were also reported by Unesco (1990) but could not be confirmed by Unesco (2013).
Unesco (1990) reports inner quotation marks ⠠⠀⠠ ‘...’, while the chart at right appears to show a highly unusual double point, ⠄⠄, for the apostrophe. Other sources, however, have the normal single point, ⠄.[1]
