Hi Lindy. I have a question regarding a previous answer you posted in July last year regarding "information missing" in tables. (I have copied your answer from the previous post below) I have normally used a series of dot 5's if the blank signifies "no data". However, I have used the (3,6)(3,6) whenever the "information is missing". Could you please let me know where in Nemeth Code it says to use the Nemeth General Omission Symbol.
Thanks in advance,
Patty
Follow Braille Formats regarding the construction of the table, but follow Nemeth Code rules for items within the table. A blank space that means "information is missing" is brailled as a Nemeth general omission symbol, a printed dash is brailled as a long dash. Since Nemeth Code does not provide for blank space meaning "no data," follow Braille Formats for that (dot 5s.)
