#--------NOTES--------
#
# Some lines are commented:
# - Characters include in latinLetterDef6Dots.uti table (a, b, c...)
# - possible conflicts with some local braille codes:
# - French braille: β (beta), θ (theta), ç (c cedilla), χ (chi), | (vertical line), . (full stop (point))
# - ... (other braille code?)
# - Tricky character compositions, see end of 'Tones and Word Accents'
# - 'Phonetic and Phonemic Enclosures'
#
# Some IPA unicode characters are not present in the reference document so there is no braille equivalent.
