Estonian Braille uses the international forms for the letters ä ö ü. Š and ž are mirror-images of s and z. Õ is the mirror-image of ä, as the mirror-image of o is used for ö.
The letters c q w x y are not part of the Estonian language alphabet, but when used in foreign names, they follow the normal international braille forms.
Punctuation is similar to that used in Scandinavian braille codes.
