_ and ^ have the same dot pattern (346) #1

346 is used for both _ and ^. They are also used respectively for subscript and superscript, so this creates confusion. This needs a standard change.

In physical braille the subscript used in maths is 16, so this could be used also for _, but at the same time it also means the letter å.

In physical math braille the 35 and 26 are used for upper and lower bounds. They do not have an equivalent in unicode characters (at least to my knowledge). Use cases are integrals, sums, and so on.
