There are two ways to represent accented letters in braille within a UEB context:

•  by means of UEB signs for modifiers (13.5), or 
•  by means of the foreign code signs used in braille production in the country where the language is spoken (13.6). 

A letter or letters-sequence is considered to be "standing alone" when the following common punctuation and indicator symbols intervene between the letter or letters-sequence and the preceding space, hyphen or dash:

• opening parenthesis (round bracket), opening square bracket or opening   curly bracket (brace bracket)
• opening quotation mark of any kind
• nondirectional quotation mark of any kind
• apostrophe [also see Section 2.6.4]
• opening typeform indicator of any kind
• capitals indicator of any kind
• opening transcriber's note indicator
• or any combination of these.

A letter or letters-sequence is considered to be "standing alone" when the following common punctuation and indicator symbols intervene between the letter or letters-sequence and the following space, hyphen or dash:

• comma, semicolon, colon, full stop (period), ellipsis, exclamation mark or question mark
• closing parenthesis (round bracket), closing square bracket or closing curly bracket (brace bracket)
• closing quotation mark of any kind
• nondirectional quotation mark of any kind
• apostrophe [also see Section 2.6.4]
• typeform terminator of any kind
• capitals mode terminator
• closing transcriber's note indicator
• or any combination of these.

A word with an interior apostrophe is considered to be "standing alone" under the specific provisions of Section 10, Contractions, 10.1.2 (alphabetic wordsigns), 10.2.2 (strong wordsigns) and 10.9 (shortforms).

Follow print for the use of the ampersand.

Follow print for the use of arrows. In non-technical material, list the complete arrow symbol (without any grade 1 indicator) and its meaning on the symbols page or in a transcriber's note.

Note: The grade 1 indicator may be required before the arrow symbol to avoid it being misread.

Refer to: Section 11.6, Technical Material, and Guidelines for Technical Material, Part 13, for further information on arrows.

Follow print for the use of the asterisk, dagger and double dagger, regardless of meaning.

Note: For example, the dagger may be used as a reference mark, or as the Latin or Christian cross to signify death or a member of the clergy.

Note: Usually the asterisk and sometimes the dagger and double dagger appear raised from the baseline in print. This is not considered the superscript position.

Welsh: Do not use the contraction "ed" in the letter combination "edd" (dd represents a distinct letter). Similarly use "ff" contraction in the letter combination "off" rather than the contraction for "of".

Use braille grouping indicators when necessary to ensure that the preceding braille symbol or indicator applies to all the symbols enclosed by the braille grouping indicators rather than just to the symbol immediately following.

Note: This includes a modifier which applies to more than one letter and a subscript or superscript indicator which applies to more than one "item".

Refer to: Section 4.2.5, Letters and Their Modifiers and Section 11.4, Technical Material.

Scandinavian languages: Use the "ar" contraction in the letter combination "aar" (in which aa represents a with circle above)
