These also have different indicators for covering a single symbol, a word, or a
passage. The use of word and passage indicators is intended to cut down on the
number of individual indicators to be used. It also allows for a clear method to
show when one letter or part of a word is emphasized as is increasingly common
in educational material. Just like in current braille, these attributes are only meant
to be shown when necessary for emphasis or distinction, not for visual effect (i.e.,
not as often as they are used in print). For example, if the title of a document is
centered and in bold, the bold is not shown in braille.

Web and Email Addresses, File Names, Twitter Handles, etc.
In UEB there is no need to switch into computer braille code to write these, and
therefore no need for begin and end computer code symbols. All of the same
symbols can be used, governed by the same rules, whether in an electronic
address or not.
