Thebasic braille range mostly conforms with international norms, with the exception of sounds which do not occur in Georgian, such as⠋*f (reassigned in Georgian to თt’), and⠟*q, which is used for ჩch’ rather than ყq. The assignment of⠟ to ჩch’ is reminiscent ofRussian Braille, as is one or two other letters (⠱ for შsh is widespread in Eastern Europe), but most of the extended-letter assignments are unique to Georgian.
