11.7.3The physical enclosure indicator signals a combining of the item just
prior (the outer symbol) with the item immediately following it (the
inner symbol), where "item" is as defined in Section 11.4.1. Refer to: Guidelines for Technical Material, Part 14.3, of Shape and
Composite Symbols, for superposition, horizontal juxtaposition and
vertical juxtaposition of print symbols. |
11.6.2All shaft symbols can be elongated by repetition, with one cell for a short shaft, two for a medium shaft and three for a long shaft. The shaft symbols are placed between the opening and closing arrow indicators. Arrows with non-standard tips
Dots 1235 regular barb, full, in line of direction
Dots 2456 regular barb, full, counter to line of direction |
11.6.3If an arrow has unusual tips, decide which is the head before you choose the direction of your closing indicator.
Note: The tip(s) and shaft segment(s) are transcribed between the opening and closing indicators. These items are expressed in logical order, that is starting with the arrow tail and progressing towards the head, even if that runs counter to the physical order (as in the case of a left pointing arrow). |
11.6.4Less common arrows can also be indicated in braille.
Refer to: Guidelines for Technical Material, Part 13, Arrows, for the treatment of:
• arrows with shafts which are diagonal, curved or dotted;
• arrows with tips which are half barbed, curved or straight; and
• equilibrium arrows that occur in Chemistry. |
