Hi Brett, As far as we are aware, numbers in literary Braille all follow the a - j convention. (Or put it this way, those still here at Duxbury can't think of any exceptions) However, there are differences in mathematical numbers in some cases, the obvious being the use of the lower signs in the American Nemeth Braille code.

I think this is likely in the romance languages but am unsure if this is the case in other alphabet systems. If you know, please let me know too. I appreciate your responses. thank you!
