  Braille - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Braille originally lacked an encoding for the letter W. Braille is also notable for being a binary code that predated the invention of the computer.
Braille has been extended to an 8 dot code so that the case of an individual letter is directly coded in that cell, and so that all the printable ASCII characters can be represented.
Braille may be produced using a "slate" and a "stylus" in which each dot is created from the back of the page, writing in mirror image, by hand, or it may be produced on a braille typewriter or "Perkins Brailler", or produced by a Braille Embosser attached to a computer.

 Braille - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Braille generally consists of cells of 6 raised dots arranged in a grid of two dots horizontally by three dots vertically.
English braille codes the letters and punctuation, and some double letter signs and word signs directly, but capitalisation and numbers are dealt with by using a prefix symbol.
When Braille is adapted to languages which do not use the Latin alphabet, the blocks are generally assigned to the new alphabet according to how it is transliterated into the Latin alphabet, and the alphabetic order of the national script (and therefore the natural order of Latin Braille) is disregarded.
