What is used in practice is a consistent tradition # maintained by the State School for the Blind Dimitar Vlahov in Skopje for more than seven decades, and # by the National Union of the Blind of the Republic of North Macedonia. # This first version preserves the defacto letter assignments used in education, # removes a few ambiguous patterns, and aims to make Macedonian available in # open-source screen readers via Liblouis. # # Author and authority # Kristijan Lazarev — teacher of Macedonian language and literature at the State # School for the Blind “Dimitar Vlahov” (Skopje) and Braille user, with knowledge # and support from the National Union of the Blind of the Republic of North Macedonia. # #-index-name: Macedonian #-display-name: Macedonian braille # # Table type: literary, both directions # Language: Macedonian # Version: 1.0 (initial submission) # #+language: mk #+type: literary #+dots: 6 #+direction: both #+contraction: no include spaces.uti #capsletter 46 capsletter 46 #single capital letter begcapsword 246 #whole word in caps # digits after numsign numsign 3456 litdigit 1 1 litdigit 2 12 litdigit 3 14 litdigit 4 145 litdigit 5 15 litdigit 6 124 litdigit 7 1245 litdigit 8 125 litdigit 9 24 litdigit 0 245 # punctuation # punctuation (456-* style where possible) punctuation . 256 punctuation , 2 punctuation ? 26 punctuation ! 235 punctuation - 36 punctuation : 25 punctuation ; 23 punctuation \x2026 256-256-256 # … punctuation \x201E 236 # „ punctuation \x201C 356 # “ punctuation ( 12356 punctuation ) 23456 punctuation [ 6-12346 punctuation ] 6-13456 punctuation { 6-126 punctuation } 6-345 sign \x00D7 6-3 # × sign \x00F7 6-23 # ÷ sign \x2122 456-2345-134 # ™ sign \x00A9 456-1-1234 # © sign \x00AE 456-1235-15-1245 # ® sign \x2022 6-12 # • punctuation / 456-34 punctuation \\ 456-16 sign < 6-246 sign > 6-135 sign = 6-2356 sign + 6-235 sign @ 456-134 sign # 456-3456 sign $ 456-145 sign % 456-1234 sign ^ 456-13 sign & 456-24 sign \x002a 456-1256 sign | 456-456 sign _ 456-36 sign \x20AC 456-15 # € sign \x00B0 456-234 # ° punctuation \x2014 6-36 # — punctuation \x2013 6-36 # – punctuation ' 3 punctuation \x2019 6-356 # ’ punctuation \x2018 6-236 # ‘ punctuation ` 45 # letters (same dot patterns as output) letter \x0430 1 base uppercase \x0410 \x0430 letter \x0431 12 base uppercase \x0411 \x0431 letter \x0432 1236 base uppercase \x0412 \x0432 letter \x0433 1245 base uppercase \x0413 \x0433 letter \x0434 145 base uppercase \x0414 \x0434 letter \x0435 15 base uppercase \x0415 \x0435 letter \x0436 2346 base uppercase \x0416 \x0436 letter \x0437 1356 base uppercase \x0417 \x0437 letter \x0438 24 base uppercase \x0418 \x0438 letter \x0458 245 base uppercase \x0408 \x0458 letter \x043A 13 base uppercase \x041A \x043A letter \x043B 123 base uppercase \x041B \x043B letter \x0459 126 base uppercase \x0409 \x0459 letter \x043C 134 base uppercase \x041C \x043C letter \x043D 1345 base uppercase \x041D \x043D letter \x045A 1246 base uppercase \x040A \x045A letter \x043E 135 base uppercase \x041E \x043E letter \x043F 1234 base uppercase \x041F \x043F letter \x0440 1235 base uppercase \x0420 \x0440 letter \x0441 234 base uppercase \x0421 \x0441 letter \x0442 2345 base uppercase \x0422 \x0442 letter \x045C 34 base uppercase \x040C \x045C letter \x0443 136 base uppercase \x0423 \x0443 letter \x0444 124 base uppercase \x0424 \x0444 letter \x0445 125 base uppercase \x0425 \x0445 letter \x0446 14 base uppercase \x0426 \x0446 letter \x0447 16 base uppercase \x0427 \x0447 letter \x045F 12456 base uppercase \x040F \x045F letter \x0448 156 base uppercase \x0428 \x0448 letter \x0453 345 base uppercase \x0403 \x0453 letter \x0455 1256 base uppercase \x0405 \x0455 letter \x0450 4-15 base uppercase \x0400 \x0450 letter \x045D 4-24 base uppercase \x040D \x045D # e and i with accent sign \x0450 4-15 # Cyrillic ѐ sign \x00E8 4-15 # Latin è sign \x00EC 4-24 # Latin ì # Latin alphabet for output only include latinLetterDef6Dots.uti # Digits to display include digits6Dots.uti
