Punctuation

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Serbian and Croatian Braille differ in quotation marks, brackets, and in the period/full stop vs. apostrophe.[1] There is less punctuation reported for Slovene and Macedonian Braille, but what there is matches Serbian conventions.

Blank cells in the tables are unattested.

Croatian Wikipedia gives for the period and for parentheses, both agreeing with Serbian Braille.
