You've taken on an impossible task. That job should be done by a braillist
certified in the Nemeth code. There's no Q&D way of doing it.
Sorry.

Hi, Mickey. I have had to fix math signs by hand all afternoon because the
search and replace function on the Braille Lite won't work on most of them.
For instance, when I replaced the braille "for" sign with the Nemeth code sign
for equals throughout the document, it also replaced all the words with the
"for" sign in them. Boy, did that make a mess! Fortunately I had saved the
text version and just retranslated it into braille and started over. I never
made it to geometry, trigonometry, or calculus, and now I see signs with which
I am not familiar. Does anyone know where I can get a simple list of Nemeth
code for all that with the words written out followed by the dot combinations
to make the signs? I warned the requesting person that I am no mathematician,
but this job was dropped in my lap anyway. If anyone has any quick ideas,
please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your patience.

Hi, Linda. The ASCII code would be the colon for the wh sign, and a 3 for
the colon. In a math problem, the colon would be shown by using dots 456, 3.

Hi, everyone. I am in the middle of a job translating a college math
book into braille, and the colons are coming up looking like braille WH-signs.
Does anyone know the ASCII value for the braille WH-sign so that I can
differentiate between the weird colon sign (ASCII value number 58) and the true
braille WH-sign? Any advice would be very much appreciated as I could not find
the WH-sign's value in the Braille Lite manual. Thank you.
