I ran into a mathematical equation recently and was not sure on how to present the question mark in the last part of the equation. In RUEB, it states:
7.5.2 Place a grade 1 symbol indicator before a question mark which appears in a position where it would be read as an opening double quotation mark.
For the attached equation, which way is best to present it in braille?
Thank you for the great question, Cynthia!
In this instance, per RUEB 7.5.2, the second option you provide would be the best way to present the equation. Inserting a grade 1 symbol indicator before the question mark helps to reinforce its role as a question mark and dismisses any ambiguity regarding the symbol.
I would also like to point out that RUEB 7.5.4 is a bit more specific to this situation; in particular, the first sentence which reads:
RUEB 7.5.4 Place a grade 1 symbol indicator before a question mark which follows a space, hyphen or dash.
In the provided equation, the question mark follows a space and would therefore need the grade 1 symbol indicator before it.
