braille

Braille is a tactile writing system used by individuals who are visually impaired or blind. It consists of patterns of raised dots arranged within cells of six dots (two columns of three). Each configuration of dots represents a letter, number, punctuation, or other symbol, allowing readers to interpret text through touch. By feeling these patterns with their fingertips, users can read documents, books, and signs independently. Braille can be embossed on paper or formed into other tactile formats, providing essential access to literacy and information for the visually impaired community.
