At First Sight Braille Jewelry In 1824, 15-year-old Louis Braille adapted a 12-dot cell system developed by a French captain in Napoleon’s army. Invented to allow soldiers to compose and read messages at night without illumination, the basic technique was the first raised-dot reading and writing system. Louis Braille devised a six-dot cell with the dots arranged in two columns of three. The dots are numbered 1 through 6. The second row adds dot 3 to make the letters k–t. The third row adds dots 3 and 6 to make the uvxyz. As there is no w in the French alphabet, it was added later. The capital sign, dot 6, is placed before a letter to capitalize it. |
