[nfbcs] [gui-talk] Availability of Braille symbols for SymbolicLogic

The "not" symbol is integrated into Nemeth. However, it is one of the
symbols whose meaning is context based.

In my experience with taking logic courses, all logic symbols accept the
"not" symbol are integrated into Nemeth.

This has caused some confusion for example, Duxbury translates the "not" to
the   "asterisk" dots 4-3456.
THis in turn leads some transcribers to take this as the logica not symbol
which it is not. Not sure why the logical not was left out.
Is that enough "nots?"

I'm taking an intro to Symbolic Logic course at my college this spring
quarter and I need some input.

Or is logic separate from the nemeth (math) part? If so, what is that
Braille code called?
