Most of the print letters with accents are derived in Lithuanian braille by adding a dot 6 to the base letter, and those which already have a dot 6 through inversion (cf. Czech Braille, Esperanto Braille). Ū uses the international convention for a second u. Ž is unusual, but perhaps forms a set with s, š, z (cf. Hungarian Braille).

Formatting

gollark: Why not just MEDDLE WITH THE VERY FABRIC OF TIME ITSELF instead of changing working hours?
gollark: Tired of getting up at times which don't... align with the sun, or something?
gollark: It's a bad solution to a problem which I don't think even exists, which creates nightmares for programmers everywhere.
gollark: Daylight saving time is just so terrible.
