Hi, Jill. That's the asterisk. Take care. Julie Morales Life is a gift from God.

James and several times I have seen in braille dots 3-5 two together. Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to what print symbol this represents. Is there any way we as scanners can create braille symbols that Duxbury will understand? I try very hard to eliminate such things as caret, tilde, etc. etc. as they will be written out. I am using Kurzweil 10.3 to scan.
