Actually Brandon said it shows braille dots so I guess that means we do. In
fact, Windows may do that using it's unicode font.

Unicode Brsaille is the default in utd. There is a configuration setting called
mode which enables one to specify the various mode bits in the last parameter
to calls to liblouisutdml functions. Up to now the configSettings string has
contained "mode notUC" Just remove it.
Do we have a font that produces Braille dot patterns from Unicode?
