Each character consists of one to six dots arranged in a 'cell' two dot spaces wide and three dot spaces high. In other words each letter can have up to six dots, arranged in 2 vertical rows of 3 per side. By feeling with the index fingers, people who have learned the Braille system can read these symbols from the raised dots and spaces.

Braille symbols are used to represent all the letters of the alphabet, numbers, contractions, some conjunctions and prepositions, and special symbols used in music, and other fields.

There are 26 basic letters in the braille alphabet. The letters are the same as the Roman alphabet only written in little bumps so that blind people can read them. Braille does have extra characters spelling full words such as 'of' and 'which' and also an extra character to mark where numbers are because they use the same bumps as the letters (A is the same as 1, B is the same as 2) however they are marked with a special character for numbers.

How is Braille used?

Braille code has an alphabet, as well as words and phrases, which are all represented by series of raised dots. It is commonly used as a method for blind people to read. By feeling with their fingers, they can 'read' special print of raised dots which form symbols. They must attend a special school to learn what the symbols mean. Braille is used by the visually impaired or blind. It is used by feeling raised dots that make up a letter. All letters and words fit into a six holed space called a cell. Each individual cell represents a different letter or word. In type one (or grade one) braille, only letters and punctuations are included.
