7.20.7 How to use Unicode Key Combinations.
Once you have created a key combination as above, you will then no doubt wish to use it in a
document, a file name, address listing etc.
To use it, at the point where you wish to insert the Unicode character, press the key combination
you assigned to it. Continue Brailling as normal.
7.20.8 Interpreting Braille Versions of Unicode Characters.
If you are reading a text document that has been translated to Grade 2 in Braille, whether you have
or haven't assigned a computer Braille dot output combination, you will see the same thing.
Using the word cafe as an example: You will observe the letters "caf" on the embossed printout,
followed by "dot 4", then the letter "e". The "dot 4" is the Grade 2 indication for an extended
character.
If you are reading a text document that has been translated to computer Braille, you will see either a
blank cell if the character is unassigned, or the dot combination you assigned to the character in
computer Braille.
On any computer Braille character you can find out the name of the character by pressing the
"Read current Character" command SPACE with dots 3-6, twice.
