Braille Alphabet
Braille was started by an 11 year old boy who was blind. He used a secret code used by the milliatry called Night Writing, and changed it into a system of raised bumps. The Braille system uses 6 spaces (2 columns, 3 rows). The raised dots are put in a special pattern for each letter of the alphabet. Here is the Braille Alphabet.
