CategoryBraille Patterns
DescriptionThe Unicode character ⠏, or U+280F, is named "Braille Pattern Dots-1234". This character is part of the "Braille Patterns" block, a collection of characters that represent the different permutations of raised dots used in the Braille system, a form of tactile writing used by the visually impaired. The character falls under the "Symbol, Other" category. The Braille system uses combinations of six raised dots arranged in a 2x3 grid. The name of each Braille character in Unicode refers to the positions of these dots. In the case of "Braille Pattern Dots-1234", the raised dots are located in the first, second, third, and fourth positions. This creates a pattern that looks like a vertical line of two dots on the left, and two horizontal dots at the top on the right side of the character. As with all Braille patterns, this pattern can represent different letters, numbers, or symbols depending on the specific Braille code being used, as there are different Braille codes for different languages and contexts.
