Attached are two files. One, Emm-dash.patch (I hope I got "emm dash" right) 
is for the single hyphen that should be two hyphens. That works.

However, there's another problem. Also attached is a file called Ill.txt.gz. 
It's the word "I'll" with a unicode apostrophe. The problem here is that 
when brltty-ctb translates this into grade 2 it puts a letter sign in front 
of the ll. Instead of (turn off grade 2):

,i'll

I get

,i';ll

In my infantile understanding of how to put unicode characters in the 
braille table I added:

always \u2019 3

but this doesn't get rid of the letter sign.

Have fun, :-)
