@xfq@w3c.social @stuartyeates@cloudisland.nz It might also be interesting to see if there is any need for a braille typography

@dreddie@social.vivaldi.net @xfq@w3c.social @stuartyeates@cloudisland.nz braille is supported in Unicode ⠃⠗⠁⠊⠇⠇⠑⠀⠺⠗⠊⠞⠞⠑⠝ However screen reader technologies don't translate the content from braille to whatever is your local language. Blind people can use a refreshable Braille reader to read textual content from the interface to physical braille. They also can use a Perkins keyboard to type in braille. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refreshable_braille_display For sign language, the Sutton SignWriting system is also supported in Unicode. However, as the system is written like pictographics instructions and not like a left to right text, it's hard to display it correctly on the web. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SignWriting Hope it helps!
