| | Braille IPA Project |
 | | IN general, since a braille version of the IPA needs to be readily usable in field/clinic/classroom settings, we have chosen the factors of speed, economy, and readability over factors of faithfulness to ink-print glyphs. |
 | | For consistency with the UEBC, Greek letters in the IPA (theta, beta, phi, gamma, chi) are represented using the approved UEBC symbols--except for those characters which appear in the Latin Unicode codeblock (specifically epsilon and upsilon) which are given as the Merrick and Potthoff one-cell symbols. |
 | | I am eager to get feedback from braille IPA users, both in countries which use English Braille (which is directly relevant to our committee), and especially from braille readers in the rest of the world regarding the possibility of adopting the Unified Braille IPA as a truly international standard. |
