Frequently Asked Questions
What is Grade 1 Braille?
Grade 1 Braille is a letter-by-letter transcription system where every individual Latin character, number, and punctuation mark is directly mapped to a specific 6-dot Braille cell without contractions.
How are numbers represented in Braille?
Because the letters a through j occupy the upper dots of the cell, numbers 1 through 0 use the identical cell patterns preceded by a special "number sign" indicator cell (⠼).
