 But I'm looking for documentation. That particular example is trivial. I 
probably shouldn't even have given the example because people seem 
fixated on that particular problem. But there are a gazillion rules that 
I know of.I need to know where I can find them all.

Therefore, the dot 6 indicating the capital G would also terminate the number sign. FYI, if you were looking to do the same thing and the letter after the last number is lower-case, you would use a letter sign (dots 5-6).

Here's a link to the PDF copy from its original publisher: https://iceb.org/Rules%20of%20Unified%20English%20Braille%202013.pdf
