Unicode Version 17.0
⠗
U+2817 "⠗" Braille Pattern Dots-1235 is a specific cell within the braille encoding system that represents the tactile pattern created by raising dots at positions 1, 2, 3, and 5 in the standard six-dot braille grid. In Unified English Braille, this pattern corresponds to the letter "r", while in other braille codes it can serve as a contraction for words or be assigned different meanings. As part of the Unicode Braille Patterns block, this character is used for both embossed braille representation in digital text and for enabling screen readers and braille displays to accurately convert written content into tactile form.
