 ę |
 ė |
 f |
 g |
 h |
 i |

 r |
 s |
 š |
 t |
 u |
 ū |
 ų |
 v |
 w |
 x |
 y |
 z |
 ž |
Most of the print letters with accents are derived in Lithuanian braille by adding a dot 6 to the base letter, and those which already have a dot 6 through inversion (cf. Czech Braille, Esperanto Braille). Ū uses the international convention for a second u. Ž is unusual, but perhaps forms a set with s, š, z (cf. Hungarian Braille).
