Text processing & transformation mechanics

Processes East Asian and multi-script typography adhering to Unicode Standard Annex #11 (East Asian Width), the OpenCC standard for Traditional and Simplified Chinese dictionary mapping, and Hanyu Pinyin phonological romanization tables. Distinguishes between CJK Unified Ideographs (U+4E00 to U+9FFF), Hiragana, Katakana, Hangul, and Latin characters. Converts full-width ASCII characters (U+FF01 to U+FF5E) to half-width equivalents and resolves multi-character contextual idiom variants.

Sample input:

Hello 2!

Illustrative output:

⠓⠑⠇⠇⠕ 2!

Frequently asked questions

How does Braille Translator convert text?+

It lowercases the entire input, maps English letters `a`–`z` to the built-in Braille cells, keeps spaces, and retains other characters after that case conversion.

What does a checked example return?+

`hello` becomes `⠓⠑⠇⠇⠕`. For `Hello 2!`, the letters become Braille after lowercasing while the space, `2`, and `!` remain visible as entered.

Does it produce complete UEB Braille?+

No. It does not add capital or number indicators, contracted Braille, punctuation rules, layout rules, or language-specific Braille conventions.

Can it decode Braille or create an embossed file?+

No. This is one-way text-to-cell substitution in the browser. It does not decode Braille, generate audio, create a downloadable embossing file, or validate accessibility output.
