As it is, with often only the one sign for the quote and the apostrophe
to worry about, the screen reader program (which we braille readers use
when braille is not available) often misidentifies which is which. I'm
not the only person to remark on how annoying this can be. Perhaps we
have enough ambiguous signs already in contracted or standardised
braille,
or we should get rid of many such coding ambiguities,
before introducing another - even with the best of motives <grin>.

If the rules were change so both single quote and apostrophe were dot 3,
the
computer wouldn't have to distinguish between them--only the reader
would.
