National Braille Day

Braille is a tactile writing system consisting of raised dots arranged in a grid. Each Braille character, or cell, is made up of six dots arranged in two columns of three dots each. By feeling these raised dots with their fingertips, blind or visually impaired individuals can read and write. Different combinations of these dots represent letters, numbers, punctuation, and even musical, mathematical, and scientific symbols, allowing for the comprehensive communication of information through touch.
