[BlindMath] Electronics Code

[Lisa Bovard]

OK.  I am working on converting an Electronics textbook and it uses the stylized "V", "E", "I" for the symbols for volt, amp, etc.  This particular chart lists the quantity, symbol (stylized letter), unit of measurement and the unit abbreviation (standard print letter and the Greek omega).  Trying to figure out how to convey the difference in the print symbols in braille.

There is no special braille code for electronics symbols. The math is done in whichever code the student uses or wants to learn. Schematic diagrams usually have letter-number combinations representing the components, and a parts list that spells out more particulars of these components. Blind people who work in this field have wished for, and not always gotten, a verbal description of a schematic diagram, described with some understanding of the functioning of the circuit so that the description is complete and covers the connections in a logical manner. It is a good idea to learn what the schematic symbols look like when represented tactually, but diagrams quickly become too complicated to reproduce as raised drawings.

Anyone know where I would find the braille code for electronics symbols?
