Frequently asked questions

What kind of Braille is this?

Uncontracted (Grade 1) English Braille, where each letter has its own cell. Books usually use contracted Grade 2, which shortens common words.

How are numbers written?

The number sign ⠼ comes first, then the letters a–j stand for 1–9 and 0.

Can I print it for a blind reader?

The dots here are visual only. Real Braille must be embossed on paper with a Braille embosser to be felt.

What is Bharati Braille?
