About Braille Pattern Blank (U+2800)
The Braille Pattern Blank (⠀) is a unique Unicode character that represents an empty 6-dot or 8-dot braille cell with no dots raised. It is the first character in the Braille Patterns Unicode block and serves as a blank space in braille writing systems.
While this character may appear invisible or as a space in many contexts, it is technically different from a regular space character. It's specifically designed for braille text representation and is used to create proper spacing in braille documents.
Important Note: Although this character is imaged as a fixed-width blank in many fonts, it does not act as a regular space character. It's specifically intended for braille pattern representation.
Common Uses:
- Representing blank spaces in braille text
- Creating invisible placeholders in special formatting
- Used in braille transcription and digital braille documents
- Sometimes used as an alternative to regular spaces in specific applications
Technical Information:
The Braille Patterns block contains 256 characters (U+2800 to U+28FF), representing all possible combinations of the six or eight dots used in braille. U+2800, being the blank pattern with no dots raised, is the starting point of this comprehensive braille character set.
