Unesco reports that Croatian Braille swaps the Serbian quotation marks for parentheses and the period/full stop for the apostrophe, but it's possible that this is due to a copy error; the table below follows Croatian Wikipedia, which agrees with Serbian, for these characters.[1] There is less punctuation reported for Slovene and Macedonian Braille, but what there is matches Serbian conventions.
Blank cells in the tables are unattested.
Single punctuation:
Paired punctuation:
| “…” | ‘…’ | (…) | […] | ||

The superscript is reported for Croatian Braille; in Serbian Braille, is used for the virgule /. In Slovene Braille, the emphasis (bold/italic) marker is reported to be an abbreviation sign.
Croatian Wikipedia states that is used for capital letters.
