Hawaiian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Hawaiian language. It is a subset of the basic braille alphabet.
{| class=wikitable |- align=center
|- align=center |a||e||h||i||k||l||m||n||o||p||u||w
supplemented by an additional letter to mark long vowels:
{| class=wikitable |- align=center
|- align=center |ā||ē||ī||ō||ū
(Māori Braille uses the same convention for long vowels.)UNESCO (2013) World Braille Usage, 3rd edition.
Unlike print Hawaiian, which has a special letter ʻokina for the glottal stop, Hawaiian Braille uses the apostrophe , which behaves as punctuation rather than as a consonant:
āina Āina
That is, the order to write Ā is apostrophe, cap sign, length sign, A.
Punctuation is as in English Braille.
