=== Punctuation ===
Basic punctuation marks in English Braille include:

{|class=wikitable
|- align=center
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|,}}
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|;}}
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|'}}
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|:}}
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|-}}
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|decimal}}
|- align=center
|[[Comma]]
|[[Semicolon]]
|[[Apostrophe]]
|[[Colon (punctuation)|Colon]]
|[[Hyphen]]
|[[Decimal point]]
|- align=center
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|dd}}
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|!}}
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|hh}}
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|356}}
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|gg}}
|{{Braille cell|type=6dot|size=40px|st}}
|- align=center
|[[Full stop]] <br />(period)
|[[Exclamation point|Exclamation <br />point]]
|Open [[quotation mark|quote]], <br />[[question mark]]
|Close <br />[[quotation mark|quote]]
|[[Bracket]] <br />(parentheses)
|[[Slash (punctuation)|Slash<br />(fraction)]]
|}

{{Braille cell|type=text|hh}} is both the question mark and the opening quotation mark. Its reading depends on whether it occurs before a word or after.

{{Braille cell|type=text|()}} is used for both opening and closing parentheses. Its placement relative to spaces and other characters determines its interpretation.

Punctuation varies from language to language. For example, [[French Braille]] uses {{Braille cell|26|type=text}} for its question mark and swaps the quotation marks and parentheses (to {{Braille cell|type=unicode|()}} and {{Braille cell|type=unicode|hh|jj}}); it uses ({{Braille cell|type=unicode|dd}}) for both the period and the decimal point, and the English decimal point ({{Braille cell|type=unicode|decimal}}) to mark capitalization.
