I'm sorry.  I checked one more thing and found an answer. 🙂  In the preliminary section of the 4-4-2023 AN INTRODUCTION TO
BRAILLE MATHEMATICS USING UEB WITH NEMETH, I found this:

The braille symbol for the prime sign is used wherever the print symbol appears in mathematical context regardless of its meaning. When more than one prime sign is used in print, the equivalent number of signs are used in braille. Prime signs must be unspaced from each other and from the quantity to which they apply. In the following example, the prime sign is used to denote feet and inches.

I'll use a prime sign.

Thanks again, Carmen

Thank you so much, Lindy.  This gives me something to work with!

Thanks for looking at this, Lindy.  The book was requested in UEB w/Nemeth.  I wish telling the requester that Nemeth in a book that teaches computer code wasn't an option!

I've attached a couple of pages that have examples of the percent sign followed by a number.   I will say that having just finished transcribing this chapter NOT putting a number indicator after the percent sign, I'm finding my ability to read it as a percent sign followed by a number has smoothed out.  I'm not sure that there's a really good answer here.  Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Lindy and thank you!

[CarmenG]

I've done a partial transcription of the two pages I provided in the pdf file.  For page 165, I've followed your suggestion to use the Computer Braille Code underscore symbol, and I defined it in a TN preceding the table.  This may be the best solution.  Please let me know if you think of anything else.  The braille example is attached.

Thank you!!!  That's what I had done, but that script A just seemed to complicate things making me nervous about my decision.  It's so helpful getting a second opinion!

Thank you, thank you, Kyle!!!

Thank you!

[CarmenG]

Thanks, Kyle.  That was exactly what I needed to know.

I would like some additional clarification on this, please, Kyle.  In the conference session Nemeth in UEB, October 2016, Dorothy Wellington had a table on page 45 (Example 28).  Row headings were words, and they were brailled uncontracted and without any code switch indicators.  They were in a section being brailled in Nemeth code.  The conference note for this says, "The row headings are considered to be part of the technical material.  The single-word switch indicator is not required.  Contractions are not used within Nemeth indicators."  How do I know when a wordy part of a Nemeth table (row headings/column headings) is "part of the technical material"?  I would assume this would also apply to graphics such as labels for bar graphs (label for vertical scale?/horizontal scale?)  I'm just at a bit of a loss on this.

Thanks, Carmen
