WORLD BRAILLE DAY

Braille is a tactile representation of alphabetic and numerical symbols using six dots to represent each letter and number, and even musical, mathematical and scientific symbols. Braille (named after its inventor in 19th century France, Louis Braille) is used by blind and partially sighted people to read the same books and periodicals as those printed in a visual font.

World Braille Day is celebrated around the world every year on January 4th, which is the anniversary of the birth of Louis Braille.? It was established by the United Nations to raise awareness of the importance of braille in education, communication, and social inclusion.
