If you want to see what character will produce what braille
dots, there is a list in Help.

In Help, expand "Codes, Styles & Templates", then "Codes".
Arrow down to "Miscellaneous" and expand that.  The first
item there is "Embosser Character Table".

The table shown there is in Numerical dot sequence.

George.

Betsy,

The semicolon produces dots 5-6. The caret produces dots
4-5.

Aloha Jean,
Wouldn't the semi-colon produce the dots 4-5 that you are
looking for?
It's also a letter sign, so that could also produce it.
