# This is a description of the default text translation table used by BRLTTY.
# It's based on the North American Braille Computer Code, but defines the full
# Latin1 (ISO-8859-1) character set.
# The 95 printable characters of the standard 7-bit US-ASCII character set
# (32-126) are identical to their representations within the North American
# Braille Computer Code (these are the only characters which the NABCC actually
# defines). Characters from literary braille, symbols from The Nemeth Braille
# Code for Mathematics and Science Notation, and a bit of human imagination
# have all been combined to create an easy-to-remember, one-to-one mapping
# between each character and its braille counterpart. All possible combinations
# involving only the original 6 braille dots are used, but that only allows for
# 64 out of the required 95 character representations. The presence or absence
# of dot 7 is used to differentiate between pairs of characters which either
# are very closely related in meaning or, in a few cases where a more intuitive
# reason couldn't be found, have a very close logical relationship within the
# US-ASCII code. Dot 8 is used for control characters and accented characters.
# This table is synchronized with Text/en-nabcc.ttb table from the BRLTTY
# project, except the re-added no-break space mapping.
# The space and the 26 lowercase letters (a-z) are the same as in literary
# braille:

# Representations for the uppercase accented letters are drawn from the
# remaining combinations which use both dots 7 and 8. The representation for a
# lowercase accented letter is the same as its uppercase counterpart except
# that dot 7 isn't used. This scheme retains the use of dot 7 as the modifier
# for a capitalized letter. The only exception to these rules is that, due to
# the nature of the Latin 1 character set, the German lowercase double-s is
# treated as though it were an uppercase y-dieresis neither has an uppercase
# definition). These representations have been gathered, as much as possible,
# into logical groupings.
