Source: Browser Default
U+2838 "⠸" Braille Pattern Dots-456 is a specific braille cell configuration that features raised dots in positions four, five, and six of the standard six dot braille grid. In the Unified English Braille code and many other braille systems, this pattern often serves as a punctuation indicator or a format marker, commonly used as the opening sign for a capital letter following in a word, or in some contexts as a composition sign to alter the meaning of subsequent characters. Visually, it occupies the lower section of the braille cell and is distinct from patterns using only the top or middle dots, providing a crucial role in rendering complex text structures for braille readers.
