What did Louis brialle invent and how does his inventon work?

How does the Braille system work?
The Braille system is a method that is widely used by blind people to read and write. Braille was devised in 1821 by Louis Braille, a Frenchman. Each Braille character or cell is made up of six dot positions, arranged in a rectangle containing two columns of three dots each. A dot may be raised at any of the six positions to form sixty-four (26) permutations, including the arrangement in which no dots are raised. For reference purposes, a particular permutation may be described by naming the positions where dots are raised, the positions being universally numbered 1 to 3, from top to bottom, on the left, and 4 to 6, from top to bottom, on the right. For example, dots 1-3-4 would describe a cell with three dots raised, at the top and bottom in the left column and on top of the right column, i.e., the letter m. The lines of horizontal Braille text are separated by a space, much like visible printed text, so that the dots of one line can be differentiated from the Braille text above and below. Punctuation is represented by its own unique set of characters.
How does the braille for blind work?
Braille is a tactile writing system used by people who are visually impaired to read and write.

The reason Braille can be ready by blind people is that the raised dots are?
Blind people can not see so there other senses are heightened. They used to have GIANT books with the letters popping out and they had very few and they were extremely heavy. So they made up this system of raised dots so they could read easier and and it wasn't so bulky.... YEAH THE RAISED DOTS ARE SO THEY CAN READ IT.... felt like giving you some back history.
Why is the visual cortex activated when blind people read braille?
When blind people read Braille, the tactile information from their fingers is processed in the somatosensory cortex. However, the visual cortex may also be activated due to cross-modal reorganization, where the brain repurposes areas originally dedicated to vision to process tactile information in blind individuals. This phenomenon reflects neuroplasticity in response to sensory deprivation.
