      I am working on lesson 5 of Paths to Literacy.  There is a sentence that uses punctuation and a number to represent a heart.  <3  What is the correct format when using UEB?

      Thank You

        Hi Janice,

        I think in this example I would use a transciber-defined shape indicator. See section 11.7 in the rulebook. Perhaps dots 4, 1246 (transciber-defined shape indicator) plus h (for heart). Include a transcriber's note explaining and list on the special symbols page.

        Using the less than sign and number 3 doesn't represent a heart to the reader and would need to be explained.
