Apart from і, which once existed in Russian Braille and ұ, which is the same as the ў of Belarusian Braille, the braille values assigned to the extra Kazakh letters do not follow the assignments of other languages that use the Cyrillic script in print. They also do not follow international norms, apart from ә.Punctuation
