DescriptionUBRL6, also known as Unicode Braille 6 dots, is a text encoding format where a 6-dot braille cell is used to represent characters, symbols, and punctuation marks. Its primary function is to convert text into a tactile code system, allowing individuals with visual impairments to read and comprehend the content through touch. The uBrl format supports both uncontracted and contracted braille fonts.
Technical detailsThe uBrl6 format takes advantage of Unicode, which covers a wide range of characters from different writing systems. This allows uBrl6 files to support not only standard Latin braille, but also braille characters from different languages and writing systems. A braille cell consists of six dots arranged in a 2x6 grid, and the presence or absence of each dot determines the specific braille character represented. Using uBrl6, developers, organizations, and individuals provide visually impaired people with unobstructed access to braille information and make it easier for them to interact with it.
