_Start and end characters of the integration into Braille text

"Fakoo start" / »

= &o [column 4 not empty]

"Fakoo end" / «

= d 2 46 79 10+11+12

= 9y [column 4 not empty]

Explanations:

all Fakoo characters are 4 dots wide (= 2 Braille characters), and the 4th column without dots represents the letter spacing
the space [sp] as word spacing is only 2 dots wide
even the space [sp] is part of a character (several columns without points) it does not replace the word spacing
if the 4th column of a character is not empty (characters are 4 dots wide - without letter spacing) is an extra space to add

Special characters:

The character ¬ (kb) is for file names, passwords or similar thought and makes the following letters to lowercase. For several lower-case letters the sign (mk) is to use and the importance end with (ke) before a space. These characters accounted for use of lower case letters. **
Is there possibility to read Fakoo text from different directions the sign (lr) identify the direction to read, it is appended at the end of the text to prevent a counter-reading, the arrow must always point to the right (even on vertical lettering)

Integration in Braille:

If text is integrated into Braille you should announce Fakoo with the characters 'start' (an) and a space and complete the text with the character 'end' (en) and a space.

Legal conditions:

State 5th Feb 2012

** The Fakoo lowercase letters were also defined, but they are they are difficult to detect
and should therefore only in special cases (e.g.

micro script) are used.
