Initials
The braille letters for zhuyin/pinyin ㄍ g, ㄘ c, and ㄙ s double for the alveolo-palatal consonants ㄐ j, ㄑ q, and ㄒ x. The latter are followed by close front vowels, namely ㄧ i and ㄩ ü, so the distinction between g, c, s and j, q, x in zhuyin and pinyin is redundant.Medial + rime
Each medial + rime in zhuyin is written with a single letter in braille.is used for both the empty rime -i, which is not written in zhuyin, and the rime ㄦ er. See for example 斯 sī located above the word Daguerre in the image at right.
Tone Marks
Tone is always marked. This includes toneless syllables such as 了 le, rendered lė in the image above-right.Punctuation marks
