Session 5: Nonalphabetical Signs |
Easy rules on these symbols!
-
For placement and spacing, follow the print!
- if the asterisk, dagger, double dagger, hollow dot, paragraph sign, parallels sign, or section sign are used as footnote or reference signs, then you must use an "order of priority" system, described in the reading on margin notes
- if you run across a symbol that has no braille equivalent, use the name of the symbol
