Hello there!
One of my student has a very strange issue when She tries to type French on her iPhone, using the Focus 40 Blue V Braille display. She tries to type the word "Je". When she tries to type letter "e" after "j", Voicover announces the entered dots instead of pronouncing the letter itself. After pressing spacebar the word disappears completely.
When letter "e" is typed alone it is pronnounced correctly and appears on both iPhone screen and Braille display. When letter "e" is entered twice after letter "j" we get "jee" on both iPhone screen and on Braille display. When we erase the last "e" the word disappears again.
I tried to reproduce this issue on my device. We created activity with the same setting for voice and Braille. We selected LibLouis French Unified table and use six dots uncontracted Braille for both input and output.
On my device everything works as expected so at present I have no idea what can be wrong with her setup.
I hope someone can help with this weirdness.

Not a solution, but
Is there a reason you're using the Liblouis tables rather than the system tables? The system tables are much more accurate and less prone to errors. The Liblouis tables are generally created by volunteers, whereas the system tables are created by Duxbury Systems, the company who creates the widely-used Duxbury Braille Translator.
You may be right but...
You may be right although for certain situation liblouis may be better and for certain - Duxbury. But at the moment the fact is that for me everything works well with LibLouis. Of course today we will try to change Braille tables to system and see if it would be of any help but I suspect that there is something else messing up that we overlook.
Solved by system update
The issue is gone after updating to the latest iOS version.
