Punctuation

Serbian and Croatian Braille differ in quotation marks, brackets, and in the period/full stop vs. apostrophe.[1] There is less punctuation reported for Slovene and Macedonian Braille, but what there is matches Serbian conventions.

Blank cells in the tables are unattested.

gollark: f

gollark: `functools` exists and is useless already.

gollark: *a language where everything is whitespace*

gollark: Haskell is a great esolang.

gollark: ```pythonint = 0list = []dict = {}set = set()```

The Croatian apostrophe ⠲ is unusual by international standards, and it is possible the period and apostrophe were swapped in a copy error by Unesco (2013) and copied from them to other sources. Croatian Wikipedia gives ⠲ for the period and ⠶ for parentheses, both agreeing with Serbian Braille.
