I have been questioned concerning how I do not put a space between opening nemeth and UEB parenthesis, if you could please clear my thinking up I would appreciate it.
EX.
- (2+2 = 4 and this is the full answer.)
2. (This is the full answer: 2+2 = 4)
Would I put a space after the UEB opening parenthesis before the opening nemeth indicator for Ex. 1.?
For Ex. 2 I would put 2+2 = 4 space close nemeth (no space) and the closing parenthesis, no space between the closing nemeth and closing parenthesis.
Thank you so much!
A blank cell must always follow an opening Nemeth Code indicator, and a blank cell must always precede a Nemeth Code terminator; these blank cells do not represent any space in print. The spaces in print are transcribed separately.
So, the appropriate transcriptions for your examples are:
⠼⠁⠲⠀⠐⠣⠸⠩⠀⠼⠆⠬⠆⠀⠨⠅⠀⠼⠲⠀⠸⠱⠀⠯⠀⠹⠀⠊⠎⠀⠮⠀⠋⠥⠇⠇⠀⠁⠝⠎⠺⠻⠲⠐⠜
⠼⠃⠲⠀⠐⠣⠠⠹⠀⠊⠎⠀⠮⠀⠋⠥⠇⠇⠀⠁⠝⠎⠺⠻⠒⠀⠸⠩⠀⠼⠆⠬⠆⠀⠨⠅⠀⠼⠲⠀⠸⠱⠐⠜
where the opening parentheses are not followed by a print space, and the closing parentheses are not preceded by a print space.
Sometimes it helps me to think of the Nemeth switch indicators as three-cell symbols:
- opening Nemeth Code indicator: 456, 146, BlankCell
- Nemeth Code terminator: BlankCell, 456, 156
Thank you for your question! Please do let us know if you have follow-up concerns.
