Braille characters are three dimensional tactile bumps on a medium such as paper or board. In order for these bumps to be represented, viewed, checked and controlled on digital artwork the designer places appropriately sized and spaced filled circles\u00a0on the artwork layout. The circles\u00a0can be constructed from a\u00a0simple grid of dots, but the most efficient method of creating braille print artwork\u00a0is with a braille font.<\/p>\n
For a braille font to work effectively on pharmaceutical braille artwork:<\/p>\n There are many rules governing braille codes<\/a> and different countries use different braille rules. So, it is important to be aware of the rules of the country where the braille will be read. It is recommended that braille artwork is proofread by a braille professional of the reader country.<\/strong><\/p>\n Braille for pharmaceutical artwork<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0produced using\u00a0uncontracted (Grade 1) braille. In uncontracted braille each letter or character of the braille alphabet<\/a> is represented by a corresponding braille character in Grade 1 braille. So for the most part it is a simple matter of using\u00a0an appropriate braille font. However, braille codes<\/a>\u00a0change from country to country and certain rules must be followed regarding braille font indicator characters, such as the number symbol, letter symbol and capital letter symbol.<\/p>\n The EBU and RNIB has worked with many sight loss organisations to endeavour to provide an agreed Braille code and set of principles that can be used in many European countries. This EBU European Braille Code<\/a>\u00a0has been accepted by some European countries for use on pharmaceutical packaging.
