    Both the termination and transcriber's note symbols were used in a math test I brailled. The proof reader said these two symbols do not need to be listed in a Nemeth transcription. Is this statement correct? Are there any guidelines on what to include on a Nemeth Special Symbols page?

    Thank you for your help!

    Dots (6, 3) function as a termination indicator following the rules of English Braille. This is required to be listed on the Special Symbols page according to that Code, even in a Nemeth transcription.

    Dots (6, 3) function as a transcriber's grouping symbol following the rules of the Nemeth Code. Standard symbols of the Nemeth Code are not listed on the Special Symbols page.
