Punctuation

Unesco reports that Croatian Braille swaps the Serbian quotation marks for parentheses and the period/full stop for the apostrophe, but it's possible that this is due to a copy error; the table below follows Croatian Wikipedia, which agrees with Serbian, for these characters. There is less punctuation reported for Slovene and Macedonian Braille, but what there is matches Serbian conventions.

Blank cells in the tables are unattested.

Single punctuation:

Print	,	.	?	!	'	;	:	*	-	_	/	&	§ and ¶

Serbian

Paired punctuation:

Print	“…”	‘…’	(…)	[…]	{…}
Croatian	...	...	...	...
Serbian		...		...	...

Formatting

(num.)	(end num.)	(Caps)	(CAPS)	(l.c.)	(emph.)	(super- script)

The superscript is reported for Croatian Braille; in Serbian Braille, ⠌ is used for the virgule /. In Slovene Braille, the emphasis (bold/italic) marker ⠸ is reported to be an abbreviation sign.

Croatian Wikipedia states that ⠠ is used for capital letters.
