Italian Braille is thebraille alphabet of theItalian language, both in Italy and in Switzerland. It is very close toFrench Braille, with some differences in punctuation.

Since French Braille does not have a letter foró, Italian Braille uses⠬ò for bothò andó.

a	b	c	d	e	f	g	h	i
l	m	n	o	p	q	r	s	t
u	v	z	é	à	è	ù	ì	ò,ó

If other letters are needed, such asj, k, w, x, y or accented vowels such asî, French Braille assignments are used.⠚j is used as the digit 0.

Digits are the first ten letters of the alphabet, and are marked by⠼, as inEnglish Braille.

Although a dot as full stop (period) is⠲, a dot as a digit separator, as in 3.500 for three thousand five hundred, is⠄ (⠼⠉⠄⠑⠚⠚).

,	.(stop)	.(num.)	?	!	;	:	'	-	*

⠲ is the full stop / period;⠄ is the digit separator in numbers.

*According to Unesco (2013), Italian Braille uses the old French parentheses⠶⠀⠶ as square brackets. According to theUnione Italiana Ciechi di Legnano, those are used for parentheses; square brackets are not given. And according to theUnione Italiana dei Ciechi e degli Ipovedenti, square brackets are⠷⠀⠾; Unesco and theUnione agree on the assignment of⠢⠀⠔ to the parentheses, as in the chart above, and theUnione has⠯⠀⠽ for braces. (⠯ç and⠽y are not part of the Italian alphabet.) However, theUnione specifies than the symmetrically paired brackets are mathematical notation, so it may be that the old, generic⠶⠀⠶ is the convention for either parentheses or square brackets in non-mathematical text.
