U+28F9 "⣹" Braille Pattern Dots-145678 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+28F9 "⣹" Braille Pattern Dots-145678 is a specific representation within the Braille Patterns block, consisting of six raised dots in the top two rows and two additional dots in the bottom row, forming a 2x4 grid. In standard six-dot Braille, dots are numbered 1,2,3 from top to bottom on the left and 4,5,6 on the right, but this eight-dot pattern extends the system with dots 7 and 8 added below, respectively. The combination "145678" means that dots 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are filled, leaving dots 2 and 3 empty, which produces a distinctive dense arrangement used primarily for computer Braille or technical notation rather than traditional literary Braille. This character serves as a graphic symbol in digital text for encoding Braille cells that support accented characters, mathematical symbols, or other extended language needs beyond the basic 64 six-dot combinations.
