Question about braille text for Tennessee School for the Blind
Tennessee School for the Blind has some braille at the banner of the top https://www.tsbtigers.org/

I'm trying to see if it's supposed to be the school's full name in braille

 * Judging by what I could get with the help of English Braille seems pretty much it (Tennessee school for the blind), there are still some detailes that I couldn't fully figure out (The start/end, the way tennessee is spelled, what follows bl). Personuser (talk) 15:12, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Some of the first three dots may be a caps or all-caps sign. Here's my attempt at the rest: "t","en", letter sign ("en" doesn't stand for "enough"),"s","e","e",space,"s","ch","o","o","l",space,"for",space,"the",space,"b","l" ("bl" is a shorthand for "blind"),termination sign.

 * Represented in the Latin alphabet it says "TENNESSEE SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND", in all-caps. The triple capital letter sign Braille pattern dots-6 with which it begins means the whole thing is all-caps (see, point 3). The combination $\langle\rangle$ is the "ness" of "Ten ness ee" (see ). Although not explained in our article, $\langlebl\rangle$ is a common English Braille abbreviation for "blind". The last two cells $\langle\rangle$ are the termination sign (see ). --Lambiam 16:19, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I'm trying to get the Unicode text for it but the generators arent giving me all of the right characters. What is the unicode? WhisperToMe (talk) 16:30, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ⠠⠠⠠⠞⠢⠰⠎⠑⠑⠀⠎⠡⠕⠕⠇⠀⠿⠀⠮⠀⠃⠇⠠⠄ should do, probably someone more familiar with Braille should check this and how useful it can be on flat screens is debatable. Personuser (talk) 17:37, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
