Turkish Braille

Turkish Braille follows international usage. The vowels with diacritics, ö and ü, have their French/German forms, whereas the consonants with diacritics, ç, ğ, and ş, have the forms of the nearest English approximations, ch, gh, and sh. Dotless i is derived by shifting down.[1][2][3]

a	b	c	ç	d	e	f	g	ğ	h
ı	i	j	k	l	m	n	o	ö	p
r	s	ş	t	u	ü	v	y	z

The accent point, ⠈, is used for â, î, û. Point ⠠ is used for capitals.[3]

Punctuation and arithmetical signs are as follows:[3]

◌̂	'	,	;	:	.[4]	!	?	-	(space)
( ... )			“ ... ”			(quote dash)		(poetry)
*		/		+		−		=

⠜⠜ is perhaps related to ⠜ in Irish Braille, which marks a new line of verse.

For quotations, the dash — is used differently from inverted commas “...”, for example when transcribing short turns in dialog.

Azeri (Azerbaijani) Braille adds the letters x and q with their international forms ⠭ and ⠟. These, and w, are used in Turkish Braille as well for foreign words. Azeri Braille uses the accent mark ⠈ to derive print ä (formerly ə) from a.[5]
