are used and the objective of this package is to develop the skills of teachers in these
codes.
Different applications using the shape indicator:
The shape indicator is used with two additional operations, namely, inner shape modifier
and structural modifier to come up with many other Braille codes.
For example, circle is a simple shape and therefore, it is indicated by
Suppose one wants to put an arrow inside the circle , then the inner shape modifier
should be used. Here see that arrow is also a shape and inserting it inside the circle will
mean a different connotation. The shape indicator preceded by dots 4, 5, and 6 indicates
inner shape modifier. The Braille configuration of this is as follows:
In this configuration, see the sets of operation. First, you have to put the shape indicator
and the letter (c) which indicate that it is circle. Then you are making a change in the
circle by inserting the arrow within. It indicates that you are modifying the shape.
Therefore, type the inner shape modifier following the “circle”. At this stage, the Braille
configuration is as follows:
At this stage the learner knows that you are modifying the shape of the circle and the
shape to be included inside the circle is an arrow, which again is a shape. Therefore, treat
the arrow as an independent shape and insert shape indicator in front of arrow. By doing
this, you will get the Braille configuration as follows.
After completing the writing of the entire Braille configuration, you have to close down
the operation by inserting the termination indicator at the end. Whenever you use the
shape indicator, close the operation by inserting the termination indicator at the end.
