Re: OT: Braille Hexadecimal

[Linux for blind general discussion]

actually, there are two ways this can be handled.
1. use grade 1 braille for this
2. use computer braille (which can be a real pain at times, but it has greater 
flexibility).

I use 8-dot computer Braille. The numbers are dropped so there is no
need for number/letter signs and no conflict.
