Hello Viraj

UEB standard is developed and maintained by International Council for
English Braile. The home page of the council has links to download soft copy
of the standard in PDF and BRF format. When  in need of authentic materials,
this is the place to go for it:

http://www.iceb.org/ueb.html

In addition, the Braille Council of India  decided that we will continue to
use Nemeth for math and will use UEB only for literary English Braille. This
is similar to the decision taken by the Braille Authority of North  America.
Thus the BANA web site www.bana.org is a good resource on symbols and
learning/teaching materials of UEB in combination with Nemeth.

Thanks
Dipendra

Hello,

Is there a one-spot source for all braille symbols in UEB? My Google
searches are giving rather scattered results. 

Regards.
