Braille ⠀ — dots none
The cell with dots none — it is empty. In Unicode it is U+2800, with 0 raised.
A braille cell has six dot positions: 1, 2, 3 down the left and 4, 5, 6 down the right. Digits reuse the cells of a–j with a number sign (⠼) in front.

How to read this
- In Morse a dot is one unit and a dash three. The commoner the letter, the shorter the code — E is a single dot.
- Each NATO word starts with its own letter. It is for saying a letter clearly over the radio.
- A braille cell has six dot positions, so there are sixty-four of them. The empty one is the space between words.
- Digits in braille reuse the cells of a–j; a number sign in front tells them apart.
