Each cell is labelled with the term and the article of the standard it comes from.

Korean braille follows the 한국 점자 규정 — Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism notice 2017-15: the dropped initial ㅇ (art. 2), the tense-consonant sign (art. 3), the final consonants (arts. 4–6), the hyphen before 예 and 애 (arts. 10–11), the 27 abbreviations (arts. 12–17), the seven abbreviated words (art. 18), the numeric sign and the space after a number (arts. 37–39), the Latin open and close signs (art. 30) and the punctuation (art. 44 onwards). English is grade 1 — letters, the capital and numeric indicators, common punctuation, and no contractions at all.

Not covered: the archaic letters, hanja, mathematical and scientific notation, and the rule that drops a hyphen at a line break. There is no braille → text direction. The rule printed beside each cell cites the Korean standard by article number, and the jamo and syllables in it stay as they are, because they are what the article is about. For anything going to print or to an exam, have a qualified transcriber check it.
