Hawaiian Braille is the braille alphabet of the Hawaiian language. It is a subset of the basic braille alphabet,

aehiklmnopuw

supplemented by an additional letter to mark long vowels:

āēīōū

(Māori Braille uses the same convention for long vowels.)

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:

ʻāina
ʻĀina

That is, the order to write ʻĀ is apostrophe, cap sign, length sign, A.

Punctuation is as in English Braille.
