Hi. During testing of the german contraction table, I notice a problem with our unknown-character sign, 26 (the question mark). 26 is used in german contracted braille as a word-contraction and as a syllable-contraction. As a result of this, the question mark (26) is only allowed at the end of a word. Now, at sites like Wikipedia that use a lot of unicode hyphens and foreign language characters, it happens quite a lot that BRLTTY doesn't know the charcode of a character and replaces it with 26. However, since 26 is so ambigious in german contracted braille, this leads to confusion. My question is, can we make the unknown-character representation configurable from within contraction tables? If no, I'd like to argue for 12345678 as the new representation for unknown characters.
