About this tool
Type ordinary text and get the matching braille dot patterns as Unicode characters. Letters map to their standard six-dot cells, spaces become the blank cell, and digits use the number sign followed by the letter cell for that digit. It is a handy way to preview braille text, teach the alphabet, or check a short label before embossing.
Frequently asked questions
How are digits written in braille?
A number sign cell comes first, followed by the letter cell for that digit, so 1 uses the a cell after the number sign.
What does a space become?
The blank braille cell, which keeps words separated in the pattern string.
