The French-based order of the letter assignments was largely settled on with the 1878 convention that decided the standard for international braille.However, the assignments for German letters beyond the 26 of the basic Latin alphabet are mostly unrelated to French values.For the brackets of phonetic transcription, German Braille uses a modified form, ⠰⠶...⠰⠶.The emphasis sign (for italics, underline, or bold) is marked with an extra point, ⠠⠸, when it occurs in the middle of a word.The lower-case sign ⠠ is used to mark mixed case or exceptions to expected capitalization; as such, it replaces the apostrophe that sets off the plural -s in print: (Note the initialism sign can be used for a single letter.)
