Braille translator

This is Unified English Braille, the code English-speaking countries now share, in grade 1: every letter spelled out. Most braille readers use grade 2 for books, which shortens common words and letter groups such as "the", "and" and "ing" to a cell or two. Grade 1 is what teaching materials, labels and anything where spelling matters use.

A capital takes the capital sign before it, and a word in capitals takes it twice. A number starts with the number sign and uses the first ten letters for 1 to 0, so a letter from a to j straight after a number takes the grade 1 sign to keep it a letter. The cells are Unicode braille patterns, so they paste anywhere. The picture draws the dots at embossed braille's spacing, 2.5mm between dots and 6mm between cells, with the empty positions drawn faintly so each cell can be read by eye.
