Ukrainian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Ukrainian language. It is based on Russian Braille, with a few additional letters found in the print Ukrainian alphabet.
Alphabet[edit]
Ukrainian does not use all the letters of the Russian alphabet, and it has the additional letters є, ґ, і, ї.

The letter ⠽ і was once found in Russian Braille, but has been dropped. ⠜ є is the mirror image of a reported archaic form of Russian э. (See obsolete letters of Russian Braille.)
⠻ g was reported in UNESCO (1990), but could not be confirmed by UNESCO (2013). It is not repeated by Leksika.com.[1]
