Adding a new character to Ukrainian computer braille table #1647

Open VovaMobile opened 1 month ago

VovaMobile commented 1 month ago

Hello. There are several apostrophes in the Ukrainian language: ' - regular apostrophe (used in basic keyboard layouts); ’ - right apostrophe (used mainly in office suites, Google Docs, and other similar word processors); ‘ - left apostrophe (I still don't know where it is used, but sometimes it can be seen in texts); ʼ - is also used as an apostrophe and is considered a real apostrophe, characteristic of the Ukrainian language. The latter apostrophe has normal symbols in Ukrainian literary braille tables (simple and detailed). However, in the computer braille table, it is not indicated correctly. Instead of a single character, the display shows a set of letters and numbers that I personally cannot make out. This character stretches over several cells and makes it difficult to read. Please solve this problem: Add the ʼ symbol to the Ukrainian computer braille table so that it appears as a regular and right apostrophe (i.e., the dots 7 and 4).

Hi @VovaMobile. Could you please get in touch with the person that is listed in the Ukrainian table as the table maintainer, Andrey Yakuboy?
