Braille pattern dots 1-2-6-7

⡣ has no fixed word meaning: it is an eight-dot Braille pattern with dots 1, 2, 6, and 7. Its reading depends on the Braille code and language in use. In 1821, Louis Braille encountered Charles Barbier’s raised-point military writing at a Paris school; he later adapted tactile writing into a six-dot system. Later eight-dot codes served computers, music, shorthand, and Japanese kanji, characters used in Japanese writing.
