French Braille is the original braille alphabet, and the basis of all others. French braille numbers follow the Antoine braille digits system and is recommended for pharmaceutical braille in France and Luxembourg. The Antoine numbers are not much used with French Braille in Canada, where standardised braille numbers should be used.
