| Description | The Unicode Braille (uBrl) file format is a standard for representing Braille characters using Unicode encoding. It is designed to facilitate the exchange and storage of Braille content in a digital format. The uBrl format allows for easy integration of Braille text into various applications and systems, ensuring accessibility for individuals with visual impairments. The uBrl file format supports both uncontracted and contracted Braille fonts. |
| Technical details | The uBrl format utilizes the capabilities of Unicode, which encompasses a wide range of characters from various writing systems. This allows uBrl files to accommodate not only standard Latin-based Braille but also Braille characters from different languages and writing systems. Each Braille cell consists of eight dots arranged in a 2x4 grid. The presence or absence of each dot in the cell determines the represented Braille character. Developers, organizations, and individuals who employ the uBrl format contribute to creating a more inclusive digital environment by providing people with visual impairments seamless access to information in Braille format and interaction with it. |
