notes[edit]

Directionality got scrambled where I added notes to Urdu. — kwami (talk) 09:12, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it. Van Isaac_WS^contribs 09:51, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What did you do? The diff summary highlights where you fixed it, but not what you changed. — kwami (talk) 10:03, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just added a left-to-right mark (U+200e) right before the <ref> tag. Van Isaac_WS^contribs 18:40, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

value of UNESCO 1990 book[edit]

The UNESCO book is full of errors. If it conflicts with another source, just fix it, and do not otherwise note it. Do not treat this source as definitive! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silver dot (talk • contribs) 19:57, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think where we noticed UNESCO conflicting with another source, we went with the other source. Unfortunately, we probably haven't checked everything, and the USESCO doc is really really bad. It looks like they received some of their info by fax, where the dots got misaligned, and just took a best guess. A lot of their characters are almost correct, but have one of the dots shifted up or down. — kwami (talk) 22:20, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think any of us are of the opinion that it is any sort of final arbiter of braille codes. It's good when it's all you have, but I don't think anyone would look at a discrepancy between the UNESCO report and an otherwise reliable source, and come to the conclusion that two authoritative sources disagree - it would be that the UNESCO report was in error.

Confirmation[edit]

Added on-line refs for all Bharati alphabets. They should be double checked: we know the Unesco doc is flawed. (However, I don't know the quality of the Acharya site.) — kwami (talk) 23:09, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Low-res photo of the cover of Devanagari Braille here. Most letters are visible, and all of those check out. (Some of the more obscure ones, like short e and o, are missing.) — kwami (talk) 00:28, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Refreshable Braille display which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 16:25, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sinhala[edit]

Moved Sinhalese out. There are so many discrepancies with Bharati norms that it's confusing to include it (for one thing, you can't tell the values of Sinhalese Braille from the chart unless you read print Sinhala), and anyway, historically it was a later adaptation of Bharati, not part of the original convention. Urdu is similarly confusing, but not as bad, and it was part of the original convention and in any case is tightly tied into Devanagari. Bangla Braille also changed when adopted outside India, but we only give the Indian values here. So, as it stands, this article is Bharati Braille in India, with outside use split off into separate articles. — kwami (talk) 23:10, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
