Hi,

I have some clarification on a user entering text in braille display input
and how to map dot sequence to a computer keyboard character.

For the character "b", the corresponding braille representation is    two
dots (: dots-12   and Unicode is 0x2803).    Similarly for "a"  it is (.
dots1) . So if it needs to be entered  in braille display;


Assuming the following is true for  bralpi_readKey() in a Loop  (for
reading "ba" and later pressing linedown)

1. readKey() // gets code correspondning to moving the cursor
2. readKey() // gets code for dot1
3. readKey() // gets code  for dot2
4. readkey() //  gets code correspondning to moving the cursor to next
location
5. readKey() // gets code for dot1
6. readkey() //  gets code correspondning to moving the cursor to next
location
7. readkey() //  gets code for line down or ( next line)


Do there have any routine or an easy way to combine 2 and 3 (above) to the
Unicode corresponding to "b".  Any reference to  Brltty code (if possible)
would be helpful.



Thanks,
Siju samuel
