❓ FAQ
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free. No registration or login required. All features run locally in your browser — no data is uploaded to any server.
What are Braille dot positions?
Braille uses a 3×2 matrix of 6 dots numbered 1-6 (left column: 1-2-3, right column: 4-5-6). Dot position notation like "1-3" means dots 1 and 3 are raised, corresponding to the Braille character ⠁. This tool shows both the Braille pattern and dot numbers.
Does it support Chinese Braille?
This tool supports English Grade 1 Braille (letter-level), including letters, numbers, and common punctuation. Chinese Braille uses a different mapping system (double pinyin scheme) and is not currently supported.
How are numbers represented in Braille?
Numbers are preceded by the number sign ⠼ (dots 3-4-5-6), followed by the corresponding letter positions: 1=⠁(a), 2=⠃(b), ..., 0=⠚(j). For example, "123" is written as ⠼⠁⠃⠉.

ℹ️ About Braille
Braille was invented by Louis Braille in France. It's a tactile writing system used by people who are visually impaired.
Each Braille character consists of 6 dots in a 3×2 matrix, giving 64 possible combinations (including the blank).
This tool uses Unicode Braille patterns (U+2800-U+28FF).
