Estonian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Estonian language.[1]
Alphabet
Estonian Braille uses the international (read French) norms for the letters ä ö ü. Š and ž are mirror-images of s and z, a strategy found in other alphabets. Õ is the mirror-image of ä, as the mirror-image of o is used for ö.
When c q w x y are used in foreign names, they have their normal values of ⠉⠟⠺⠭⠽.
Punctuation
Punctuation is nearly identical to that of Finnish Braille.
