Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2879 "⡹" Braille Pattern Dots-14567 is a specific cell used in six dot or eight dot braille systems, representing a configuration where dots 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are raised. In standard six dot braille, this pattern typically corresponds to the letter "v" in English Grade 1 braille, while in eight dot braille it can serve as a contraction or a formatting indicator. Its appearance consists of a rectangular arrangement of dots with the top left, the entire second column, and the bottom right dot filled, making it visually distinct from patterns that omit dot 7. This character is part of the Unicode Braille Patterns block, which systematically encodes all possible dot combinations for digital representation and translation of braille text.
