Napoleon and the blind Language
I was reading through how the browser agent read through the html code sent to the browser from a server. A couple of interesting things happened. A different kind of rendering with 6 dots and their projects for the blind.
It was first designed as Night Writing by a Charles Barbier when Napoleon asked for a silent communication code for his soldiers during night. It was designed to have 2 columns of 6 dots each. This system was little complex to learn and use and it was rejected by the military. The same system has been miniatured to 6 dots by Louis Braille. It once again had two columns, but only three cells each. A simple representation for A and 1 and what should precede on a number and letter is as shown in the figure.
