Source: Browser Default
U+2808 "⠈" Braille Pattern Dots-4 is a specific braille cell that represents only the single dot in the upper right position of the standard six dot braille grid, numbered dot 4. In many braille systems, this character often serves as a formatting marker, such as a capital letter sign when used before another braille character, or it can represent the letter "l" in some specialized codes. It belongs to the Unicode Braille Patterns block, which maps the 64 possible configurations of the six dot braille cell, and its presence as a single dot underscores how braille relies on the precise arrangement of raised dots to convey meaning.
