I couldn't find the leaflet on the RNIB website -- must not have used the
correct search terms. There is a listing of the IPA and the corresponding
braille symbols in the BANA "Braille Formats" book, Rule 18, Section 4f.
In addition to purchasing the book from the American Printing House for the
Blind, www.aph.org, the Braille Formats guidelines, without the examples, can
be found at www.brl.org/formats. The braille symbol is followed by the print
pronunciation symbol which is followed by a written description of the symbol,
such as 'ethel, o-e ligature' or 'phi' or 'slashed zero, null or empty set.'
There may be some differences in the BAUK choices for braille representations
for the print symbols. I haven't seen the two codes written side by side.
