Spanish Braille

Spanish Braille is the braille alphabet of Spanish and Galician. It is very close to French Braille, with the addition of a letter for ñ, slight modification of the accented letters and some differences in punctuation. Further conventions have been unified by the Latin American Blind Union, but differences with Spain^{[citation needed]} remain.

The French Braille letters for vowels with a grave accent, à è ù, are used in Spanish Braille for vowels with an acute accent, á é ú. In addition, French ⠻ ï is reassigned to Spanish ñ. Thus, in numerical order, the letters are:

At one point, French ⠺ w was apparently used for Spanish ü, reflecting its pronunciation, and French ⠹ ô (a rotated v) for Spanish w, which is only found in foreign words.

Digits are the first ten letters of the alphabet, and are marked by ⠼, as in English Braille.

Single punctuation:

(The same character is used for a full stop and for an apostrophe, as in Portuguese Braille. Spanish does not use the apostrophe in standard writing, and in Portuguese it is only present in a few fixed phrases.)

Paired punctuation:

'Emphasis' may be bold or italic in print.
