Braille for Chinese

Braille for Chinese

When Braille is used to write Chinese, it represents the sounds
of the language rather than the characters. It is written from left
to right in horizontal lines running from top to bottom. Each syllable
is made up of three Braille letters: one for the initial, one for the
final and one for the tone, though the tones marks are rarely used.
Words are separated by spaces. Where there is no possibility of confusion,
some initials are written in the same way. For example g and j, and h and x
in Mandarin Braille.
