[BRLTTY] How to find Unicode characters and change their grade 2 translation?

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi all,

There's a Unicode character (see the attached file) that should be 
translated as two hyphens instead of one. For what it's worth, Jaws 
translates it as two hyphens when grade 2 is turned on, but brltty 
translates it to one. Both display it as dots 368 when in computer braille.

At first I thought the character, though unicode, was the equivalent of 
0x9C, but that's not right because when I turn on Jaws grade 2 and look at 
my text table, en_US, it still displays that character as dots 368.

When the attached line is inserted into my contraction table it does produce 
two hyphens, at least on my system, but I'm sure it's not done the right 
way.

Anybody feel like being a kindergarten teacher yet again? Or is there an 
article that explains all this Unicode stuff in dunce language?

Thanks,
