When Braille was invented, it was recognized by France.

Braille inventor Braille 1809 was born in a shoemaker's family in Coupare, France. When I was three years old, I was accidentally stabbed in the eye by an electric drill, and I was blind from then on. When he reached school age, he was sent to a school for the blind. At that time, the books read by the blind were made of thick paper and cloth, and the raised French letters were spelled into words, making the books big and heavy, and it was not easy to recognize a word. Braille had a keen interest in knowledge. He managed to find a way and read quickly. After graduation, I stayed at school and became a teacher. In the process of teaching, he felt that this old reading method was not practical, and it was very difficult for blind children to learn.

To this end, he decided to develop a book and text for the blind to touch and read.

One day, several naval soldiers went to the school to conduct night battlefield communication exercises for children and introduced the exercise methods. In the dark, if you want to send information, you can't rely on your eyes to recognize the signal. They use a code word. First, they translate information into telegraph code, and then they type various ideas on thick paper to express this code. After receiving the "night code", the soldiers identified the contents of the "night code" not by looking, but by touching. This performance greatly inspired Braille. This "night code" is simple and practical, he thought. Can you create an ideal Braille on this basis?

Braille spent five years, repeatedly scrutinized and studied, and finally created Braille.

This kind of Braille consists of six dots punched on thick paper. Through their different arrangements and numbers, all 26 Latin letters can be represented. However, due to overwork, Braille died at the age of 43 before the invention of Braille was recognized.

1853, the year after Braille's death, the French government finally officially confirmed his idea that Braille was the official Braille of France. After another 34 years, his Braille gained international recognition.
