Hi all,

The Unicode character U+2800 (written as \x2800 in liblouis) represents a blank cell; i.e. no dots. However, in braille-patterns.cti, is defined as follows:

sign \x2800 28a # ⠀ BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-0

Why is this defined as dots 2 and 8, plus virtual dot "a"? Should it not be defined as 0?

I was hoping to use this table to support Unicode braille in NVDA, but this issue makes that somewhat strange.

Thanks,
Jamie
