I'm no expert, but I don't think it's quite that simple. 8-dot braille is,
essentially, computer braille. The dots 7 and 8 were added to make it easier
to emboss braille books from the tapes that are used to set print books into
type. I think that those extra dots have more function than simply
indicating upper case or a control character.

Hi to all!
Add dot 7 for upper case. Add dot 8 for control chars.
