- ⠠ before a letter means a capital; ⠼ starts a number, and the letters a–j then stand for 1–0.
Questions
Which braille is this?
Grade 1 (uncontracted) English braille: one braille cell per letter. Grade 2 uses short forms for common words and is not covered.
Can I print it for a blind reader?
The dots on screen are for sighted people. Readers need raised dots from a braille embosser; this text is a good starting point for one.
