From http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.2.0/ch15.pdf "The intent of encoding the 256 Braille patterns in the Unicode Standard is to allow input and output devices to be implemented that can interchange Braille data without having to go through a context-dependent conversion from semantic values to patterns, or vice versa. In this manner, final-form documents can be exchanged and faithfully rendered." http://files.pef-format.org/specifications/pef-2008-1/pef-specification.html#Unicode I wish you a pleasant sleep tonight.
