I am so confused. Can you please tell me how you would handle something very simple?

I am looking at Braille Formats 18.6.4 and trying to apply this to UEB.

18.6.4 Carets. Use a spaced caret symbol, 95 (35, 26), when a caret (^) indicates an insertion is to be made.
a. When print includes the insertion text, it is preceded by a spaced caret and followed by a spaced termination indicator  (6, 3). The caret and termination indicator must be on the same line(s) as the first and last words, respectively, of the inserted text.

Question:

Do we still use the caret for insertions in UEB text? See my attachment please. Would I use the UEB caret? If so, How would I terminate it?

 

Thanks!

Thanks Cindi! I completely understand and appreciate the clarification.

Oh, but wait. In UEB I do not see a symbol for the unstressed syllable. I only see symbols for primary stress and secondary stress. 15.2. I am back to where I was... See example 15.2.1 on page 213. This one looks more like my situation. My symbols are printed above the lines of text. I am so confused now. I have attached a sample of one way I considered doing it.

Thanks again for quick response and clarification. I read the one on indexes but this was a little different because of the cell 5 heading. I am comforted to know I was on the right track. Sometimes I just need a second opinion, I appreciate you SO MUCH! I just have to say THANK YOU again, for taking the time to answer not just me, but all of us who have these types of inquiries. This is such a great resource for us all.
