Capitalization

In this unit, under Grade 2 Braille, the lesson section covers a special “indicator” dot 6, that is used to denote a capital letter in a word. This special indicator dot for capitalization of any letter is placed immediately before the letter. 

Note the Braille format given below: 
Dot 6 is the indicator.

Example 1:
R a t  

Here the letter ‘R’ is Capital. To write the word ‘Rat’ place dot 6 before ‘R’.

In case, the whole word is capitalized use two consecutive dot 6s in the same cell column before the word.

Example 2:
RAT

Here, in the word ‘RAT’, all the letters are in capital. Hence we use two consecutive dot 6s before the word.

Exercise
Type the word ‘Cat’

Type the word ‘PEN’
