just squares.

What if GS Unicode wasn't just made of pixels?  What if it had a better, more appealing width/height ratio?  What if it utilized the new FS inventory?  And what if I wasn't way too ambitious/crazy in making this?  No idea, but I'm eager to find out!

I've split this font series up by plane (though as of yet only the fonts for Plane 0, 1, and F exist), since .ttf files have a technical limit of 65,535 glyphs.

Things that are planned but not implemented yet are listed as [TBA] (to be added).

This font (Plane 0) should also serve as the hub for most major updates (like those relating to the series as a whole).

Links to planes:

Plane 0: [THIS FONT]
Plane 1: here
Plane 2: [TBA]
Plane 3: [TBA]
(No Unicode characters exist in Planes 4 through D)
Plane E: [TBA]
Plane F: here
Plane 10: [TBA] (No PUA blocks have been requested in this plane yet)

PUA assignments:

E000~E07F - Tengwar
E080~E0FF - Cirth
E100~E62F - <unassigned>
E630~E64F - Seussian Latin Extensions
E650~E88F - <unassigned>
E890~E8DF - Aurebesh
E8E0~EB9F - <unassigned>
EBA0~EBDF - Cistercian Numerals
EBE0~EFFF - <unassigned>
F000~F2FF - Latin Orthographic Extensions
F300~F7BF - <unassigned>
F7C0~F7FF - Kana Orthographic Extensions [TBA]
F800~F8CF - <unassigned>
F8D0~F8FF - Klingon

Additional PUA assignments in supplemental planes, which will be put in their respective fonts:

F0000~F1FAF - <unassigned>
F1FB0~F1FFF - Muric [TBA]
F2000~F235F - canIPA [TBA]
F2360~10FFFF - <unassigned>

Blocks listed [TBA] are subject to change in length and location, while those that aren't are (theoretically) stabilized à la UTC policies.

Feel free to recommend PUA assignments!

Also, it's more than likely I won't know every script well enough that there won't be any mistakes.  If/when I make a mistake, please tell me and I'll do my best to fix it!

just dots. what would you expect from the braille alphabet? (done)

Braille

I created this typeface based on the theme ‘Hope’. While being or becoming blind is extremely hard, there is always light after the dark, even for the people who cannot see. I tried to include every character from the Braille alphabet (white dots) to the original English alphabet (black dots), so it would be learnt and understood easily.

A simple remake of my original Brixel, but made to be monospace and 8x8

(being extended with the help of meloonics)

The number indicator is "~" (tilde) and the decimal indicator is "`" (grave accent).

I centred all the litters so that in words like "Pillow" the "i" is in the middle of the "P" and "l" insted of close to the "P".

I hope I explained that properly

This font is not official so you can mess with it and do whatever. I just wanted to make art out something I wanted to learn. This is more of a dedicated vent than a profit. Plus, I am not doing anything official or commercial with this. I just was bored and thought: Make blind people a font on braille. 

DEDICATED TO BLIND PEOPLE

People every day are blinded or born blinded. Not in a sense of "you are stupid" type blind. They are actually blind and need symbols popping out as dots to read. They feel the words. This is known as Braille. I am kinda learning the alphabet of braille and its importance.

So, one day, I sat down and thought: Why not make a font for braille?

I know they might never see this or feel this, but I wanted to make something to show how I thought since every language gets their front, why not braille? 

Using "Fractal" and several other sources for braille, here is my font of braille. 

It is known as The DiRECTOR

Directs blind people to know where they are going and helps them dive into books and imagine worlds they might have not ever seen. The "I" is short to look like the hand touching the braille in our normal next just like I went and touch the text they read. 

Mess with this and surprise your friends and learn braille similar to how I am and how they are by typing with this font. 

Like I stated before:

DEDICATED TO BLIND PEOPLE

Just a font that uses braille characters.

Am going to expand this font. Why not, after all? It is my best work so far.

Currently more than 2900 characters.

Comments are appreciated.

Update 1-Nov: Added Supplemental Arrows-B, Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Extended, Variation Selectors

For who was finding the scouts false Braille.

Small pixel font mimicking that those 90s toy screens, or calculators

currently 2931 glyphs

universally usable square script of a maximum of six lines, developed as a curve-less blind-handwriting (universell nutzbare Quadratschrift aus maximal sechs Linien, entwickelt als kurvenlose Blinden-Schreibschrift), by Alexander Fakoó www.fakoo.de/quadoo

With Simbraille, is easier to see the where the dots are placed in the 6-dot cell. It may be used to teach about dot placement.

If you typed Braille with Perky Duck, you can copy and paste it into a Word Editor, like Microsoft Word. Then you just change the font to be this font, Unicode Braille Font. 16 pt font size is recommended.

You can also take text, copy and paste it into an online braille translator, and take that brailled text, and use that text in Microsoft Word. Then change the font type.

You might need to adjust height spacing if it's too cramped. In Microsoft Office, you can right click, and go to Paragraph, and change the Line spacing to 2. That would make it easier to read.

You may adjust margins to give more space as well.

If you're producing print-braille materials, then you can use this braille font alongside a print font, add outlines of pictures, diagrams, and etc., to your documents.

Then documents can be printed on swell paper to form tactile graphics.

JUST A SIMPLE 3×5 PIXEL FONT. THE CAPITALS HAVE A WHITE STRIKETHROUGH.

CHANGELOG

GS Unicode is a project I'm working on so (almost) all languages get support!  With 14,564 non-spacing characters, this font is finished (as of Unicode 13.0, and as of FS's pre-July 2021 glyph inventory).  Please tell me if some of the characters aren't working.  I'll try to fix them as best as I can!  ...And now, with a new glyph inventory comes a new age....Stay tuned for more updates.

NO CAPS LOCK NEEDED! The alphabet is exactly like braille, but the numbers & symbols are of my own design.

Accurate spacing is done with a SINGLE PIXEL ABOVE EACH CHARACTER, REMOVE THAT PIXEL to be correct.

I needed a micro font, something that could be done in the tiniest scale, and braille came to mind. it is decipherable, making it good for textures on signs or glyths in pixel art.

SHARE and USE as you wish, its just braille i hold no creative rule over this, literally anyone can make this exactly the same in 3 minutes or so, like i did.

Lowercase letters are smaller circles, numbers are squares.

Only letters and numbers.

This font combines two simple ideas and puts them together. Braille and color theory.

I had a long time been holding on to this font (about 2 years) but decided that maybe someone out there would like it.  Its complicated, in a way, but can end up being the most compressed "barcode" I have ever seen. (With the average letter taking up approximately 2 pixels when used in its "second form" but we will get into that later.

As with many of my fonts, is rooted in braille. So a knowledge in braille is neccesary. (Braille is very very easy to learn)

So heres the nuts and bolts.  Lets take a 3 letter word in braille, say, "ice"

    o| oo| o
o    |    |    o

i        c      e

in of itself it takes three braille spots, but, what if we were to use color theory to compress it?
the first letter would be red, the second in yellow, the third in blue? You could have them occupy the same place and have no loss of information! Anywhere red overlapped the yellow, it would be orange, anywhere yellow overlapped blue it would be green! etc.
so, "Ice" could now be expressed as
            green, orange
              red,    blue
The word "Ice" is conveyed in a 2x2 packet of colored pixels!

Which brings me to my font. "Rybian" (a play on words of "RedYellowBlue-ian" is a colorless way of expressing that same form.

red is a horizontal line
yellow is a circle
blue is a verticle line

so, logically, orange would be a circle with a horizontal line in it
green would be a circle with a verticle line in it
purple would be a verticle and horizontal line
