Hawaiian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Hawaiian language . It is a subset of the basic braille alphabet,
supplemented by an additional letter ⠸ to mark long vowels:
( Māori Braille uses the same convention for long vowels.) [1]
Unlike print Hawaiian , which has a special letter ʻokina for the glottal stop , Hawaiian Braille uses the apostrophe ⠄ , which behaves as punctuation rather than as a consonant:
- ⠄ ⠸ ⠁ ⠊ ⠝ ⠁ ʻ āina
- ⠄ ⠠ ⠸ ⠁ ⠊ ⠝ ⠁ ʻ Āina
That is, the order to write ʻ Ā is apostrophe, cap sign, length sign, A .
Punctuation is as in English Braille .
