I can also add, that there is a font called SimBraille, where it uses a Braille representation, but being a font, it still uses the corresponding letters. This means screen readers would still be able to read them, while certain techniques could be used to print in physical Braille.

Emne: [Nordicbraille] Visual Unicode Braille

In the Danish report we talked about, how to write visual braille by using Unicode.

I can add, that you can write Unicode Braille in Word by typing the code
for the sign, mark the code and then press alt, x.
Then you have the visual braille sign.

You can find the code on this webpage:

Braille Patterns — Unicode Character Table (jrgraphix.net)

I have also experienced that it can correct printing errors to write
in Unicode. For instance when we print 6 dot, _é_ (dot 123456) is
incorrect if we do not use Unicode.
