2. What does Braille mean?
Braille is a tactile text designed specifically for blind people. Braille was invented by the blind Frenchman Louis Blair in 1829. It is a symbol system composed of six raised dots. Different symbols are distinguished by the number and position of the dots. It can be changed into 63 different graphic symbols. It is a form of Braille commonly used internationally today. The earliest common Chinese Braille used in my country is called Braille, commonly known as 408. It is a kind of coded blind character, which is composed of 408 numbers by the arrangement and combination of two blind characters, representing the 408 syllables of Chinese. Each syllable changes its pattern according to certain rules to represent four tones. At the beginning of the 20th century, Xinmu Keming became popular in regions other than Northeast China. It is based on the Nanjing pronunciation and has 18 initial consonants and 36 finals. The phonetic and rhyme combinations are spelled into one syllable, plus another blind symbol to mark the tone. 1Beginning in 1953, the current Braille script was widely promoted across the country. It is a pinyin braille script based on Mandarin and Beijing phonetic as the standard. It has 18 initial consonants and 34 finals. The consonants and rhymes are spelled into one syllable, and another blind symbol is used as the key signature. In 1975, Braille workers proposed Braille reform. After more than ten years of research and exploration, a Chinese double-spelling Braille plan was determined. It uses two blind symbols to spell out a real syllable in Chinese, that is, a tonal syllable, with the sound side on the left and the rhyme side on the right. The sound side includes initial consonant, half-consonant mother, medial consonant and zero sound symbol; the rhyme side includes final consonant, zero rhyme symbol and key signature.
