[Blindmath] Nemeth question

As I remember from my sighted days, the symbol for "implies" depended on the 
textbook.  In some it was a large U on its side, with the rounded edge 
facing the implied predicate.  In others it was a right arrow.  In others it 
was an equal sign with a sort of right paren after it.  I have read through 
the Nemeth code reference from NBP and get the impression that Nemeth tries 
to preserve as much info about the source print text as possible -- so this 
would "imply" (excuse the pun) that the braille for implication is also 
different for different texts.
I like that word "edo".  Only a blind person or family member would 
understand what this means *smile*.
Happy brailling.
