Unicode Version 17.0

U+28FD "⣽" Braille Pattern Dots-1345678 is a specific braille cell from the Unicode Braille Patterns block, representing the activation of six out of eight possible dot positions within a standard 2 by 4 grid. Its dots 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are raised, leaving only dot 2 empty, so visually it appears as a nearly full rectangular arrangement of bumps. In braille writing systems, this character does not have a fixed meaning on its own but serves as a graphical element that can be combined with other cells to encode text or symbols, or used in specialized contexts such as tactile graphics and notation systems.
