The UEB number indicator
⠼ · dots 3456 · ASCII #. This indicator starts numeric mode: the cells for A–I become 1–9, and J becomes 0. It is not repeated before every digit in one uninterrupted number.
42 → ⠼⠙⠃ · ASCII #db: number indicator, D cell, B cell. A hyphen ends numeric mode, so 0-9 → ⠼⠚⠤⠼⠊ uses another indicator after the hyphen.
Rule reference: ICEB, The Rules of Unified English Braille, §6.
How do I write 1–20 & 1–100?
Combine the same ten digit cells: 10 is ⠼⠁⠚, 11 is ⠼⠁⠁, and 20 is ⠼⠃⠚. Enter a list with one number per line to inspect each result.
What about a 1–100 list?
There are no extra digit cells for larger numbers: 100 is ⠼⠁⠚⠚. Convert a 1–100 list, then copy it or download the TXT for self-checking. The Print chart button prints the compact 0–9 reference, not your input.
Phone numbers, door numbers & known limits
Try a hyphenated phone-style string such as 020-7946-0958, or the door number 204. These are learning examples, not signage or transcription-ready output. Use the main translator for letters mixed with numbers.
The engine uses literary UEB Grade 1, not a maths layout system. Spaced digit groups can require a UEB numeric space; review those groups against the UEB rules. This tool does not infer what a number means. A round-trip match does not prove correctness.
Each run allows up to 5,000 Unicode code points. Longer or unsupported input is refused and kept intact; nothing is silently truncated. TXT is UTF-8 with LF line endings, without BRF page geometry.
