     braille is a fast declining tech. because, screen readers and audio are replacing it.

     when you have 6 dots, each is on/off, you have 2^6 = 64 possibilities.
     when you have 8 dots, you have 2^8 = 256 possibilities.

     one interesting thing is how do you sort braille? here's 3 possible ways.

     another combinatorial unicode char set is the trigram.
     Note that, in these MONOGRAM, TRIGRAM, TETRAGRAM, HEXAGRAM, some allows the bar to break into 3 pieces, while other only 2.
