World Braille Day Add to Note
04 Jan, 2023
Inaugurated by the UN in 2018 World Braille Day is held on the birthday of its inventor Louis Braille. Intended as a day to raise awareness about accessible services for the blind its also an important day to celebrate how ingenuity can make the world a better place.
Born in 1809, Louis Braille invented what is now called Braille at just 15 years old. It was adapted from an earlier system of writing called ‘night writing’ invented a few years earlier by Charles Barbier. Louis Braille saw night writing’s potential and simplified it from a 12-dot system into a 6-dot one. This made Braille very easy to use and has allowed it to become an almost universal writing system for the blind, being used in over 133 languages.
