With the release of the BANA Code Updates for literary and textbook formats
that were just released and which took effect on January 1, there are new
symbols for things like copyright, trademark and registered. Dots 4-5 "c", "t",
and "r" respectively. Will these codes be added to the next release of DBT?
Also, how are rule changes encorporated? Will DBT wait until the entire code is
revised, or do they build in changes as they are approved? I'm thinking here of
the new rule in literary English braille to not insert an apostrophe in plural
numbers, abbreviations, etc., and to use the termination indicator instead if
changing from an uppercase abbreviation to a lowercase plural "s".
Is there any way to create the new symbols for copyright, trademark and
registered in simbraille in Word? I can't think of what might create the dot
4-5 part.

"Stressed" spelled backward is "desserts"
