Unicode Block - Braille Patterns

Braille Patterns is a systematic encoding of the six dot and eight dot braille cells, allowing digital text to be represented as tactile patterns for visually impaired readers. It includes all possible combinations of raised dots, from the empty cell often used as a space or placeholder to patterns with all eight dots filled, and it supports both the standard six dot braille system and the extended eight dot system used for computer braille and other specialized notation. The block also provides a direct mapping for braille characters across many languages, enabling software to render braille on refreshable displays and printers without needing complex font substitutions.
