Hi Steve
 a capital is dot 7 

Yes but that depends on the Braille display.
For example, the versa Braille machines used To  be six  dot cells,  but if
a character was Capital, that  cell would vibrate.

Hi,

 

Computer Braille is a 1 to 1 form of Braile that converts directly to
computer print.  So for example, you can't have #d for the number four,
because it is two characters.  Every character takes up exactly one cell.

 

This is why you need eight dot Braille for true computer Braille, as a
capital is dot 7 for example.

 

All the best

 

Steve

What's the difference between standard Braille and computer Braille?

 

Cheers
