What are the symbols and contractions used in braille?
It is difficult to replicate in text form, but it is available in many places on the internet, including Answers. com and other locations listed in the related links below.
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 do you read the Braille alphabet?
You can read Braille wiith your fingertips. It is a method of reading using touch instead of eyesight. It's mainly used by people with impaired vision, but people who can see can also learn to read Braille. A Braille cell has 1 to 6 raised dots. You can read by feeling these dots, along with the empty spaces.
You lightly run your fingertips over the patterned dots.

I am a hearing person. To answer your question, it feels like you are trapped in a world of noise, noise, and more noise. You can never get away from it. Sometimes you just want quiet, peace, alone time. I feel like you can never get that because wherever you go, there'll be noise.
