Hello, I just learned the other day that there are braille characters in the unicode space (u+2800-28FF).
I started using this when I want to display braille on a page. I keep a music journal and like to show braille music excerpts along with the print music. All of my music is in BRF, so I created a script to convert BRF to unicode. I tested it by pasting an entire brf file in and the entire thing was converted to unicode without errors. Currently it only supports the 64 characters supported by 6-dot braille. I did not add dots 7 or 8 since it doesn’t have a direct translation as far as I know to brf. I thought it might be useful to someone else. It has a web interface, and if anyone is interested I also have scripts that can be run on the command line. You can see the web interface here: http://www.brandonolivares.com/braille/ As a test, you can enter something like this: ,? IS A TE/4 Select ascii to unicode and hit convert. You can also convert the other way. Here is the same thing in unicode: ⠠⠹⠀⠊⠎⠀⠁⠀⠞⠑⠌⠲ I hope this is useful to someone.
