The braille alphabet used to write Hungarian is based on the international norm for the 27 basic letters of the Latin script.
However, the letters for q and z have been replaced, to increase the symmetry of the accented letters of the Hungarian alphabet, which are largely innovative to Hungarian braille.
The traditional letter for q (which is not part of the basic Hungarian alphabet) has been reassigned to ö, and an unused pattern has been assigned to ü: This creates the following symmetrical pattern for the umlauted vowels: (Ä is not part of the basic Hungarian alphabet.)
As with the accented vowels, the majority of digraphs are created through reflection: This creates the following pattern among the sibilants: Dz and Dzs are treated as D-Z and D-Zs respectively.
Unlike English or French Braille, Hungarian Braille has separate opening and closing symbols for both parentheses and quotation marks.
