Technical information

Symbol⠋
NameBraille pattern dots-124
Unicode numberU+280B
CategoryBraille Patterns
DescriptionThe Unicode character ⠋, or U+280B, is named "Braille Pattern Dots-123". It is part of the "Braille Patterns" block, a block that contains characters used in the Braille system of tactile writing for the visually impaired. It falls under the "Symbol, Other" category. The Braille system uses combinations of raised dots in a 2x3 grid, and the name of each character refers to the position of these dots. In this case, "Braille Pattern Dots-123" means that the raised dots are located in the first, second, and third positions of the grid, which, when read from left to right and top to bottom, form a vertical line on the left side of the character. This specific pattern is used to represent different letters, numbers, or symbols based on the specific Braille code in use, as several language-specific and context-specific Braille codes exist.
