How braille numbers work

English braille numbers begin with the number sign, dots 3-4-5-6, followed by the same cells used for letters A through J. Context determines where numeric mode ends.

Grade 1 versus Grade 2

This chart shows basic cells and indicators. Grade 2 UEB also uses contractions for complete words and letter groups, so use the translator for sentences and documents.
