Braille numbers and the number sign

In Grade 1, digits are not a separate alphabet. You write the number sign (dots 3-4-5-6), then use the a–j cells as 1–0. This page shows that pairing with a tap chart and short examples you can copy into the translator.

Number sign + a–j digits

Grade 1 digits reuse letter cells after the number sign (dots 3-4-5-6). A letter after digits in the same word needs the letter indicator (dots 5-6). Letters on Alphabet.

Questions on this sheet

Why do numbers look like letters?

Digits reuse a–j after the number sign.

Is zero j?

Yes, in this Grade 1 digit set.

Can I convert a full address?

Use the translator for mixed strings.

Local only?

Yes.

Watch for these

  1. Without the number sign, those cells are letters.
  2. Nemeth rules differ. Do not mix them casually.
  3. If you searched for braille numbers, this chart is what you want, not calligraphy styles.
