Apart from⠽ і, whichonce existed in Russian Braille and⠬ ұ, which is the same as the ў ofBelarusian Braille (a letter which was used in earlierKazakh alphabets with the same value), the braille values assigned to the extra Kazakh letters do not follow the assignments of other languages that use the Cyrillic script in print. They also do not followinternational norms, apart from⠜ ә (Latinä).
