盲文是盲人主要的触摸式阅读或打字系统，它采用六个凸点均匀排列在矩形的字母空间或单元中。每个单元格限制为63种可能的点组合，有许多应用示例，例如数学和科学，以及辅助技术，例如盲文显示器，其中6点单元盲文扩展到8点。这项工作提出了一种独立于语言的方法，系统地开发一个8点盲文代码。此外，一组设计原则，重点是：实现支持的符号的缩写表示，保持与6点表示的连接性，保持在其他语言中应用的过渡规则的相似性，消除歧义，并考虑未来的扩展。所提出的方法被成功地应用于一个8点的文学希腊盲文代码，涵盖了现代和古希腊的正字法，包括双元音，数字和标点符号的发展。
Braille code, employing six embossed dots evenly arranged in rectangular letter spaces or cells, constitutes the dominant touch reading or typing system for the blind. Limited to 63 possible dot combinations per cell, there are a number of application examples, such as mathematics and sciences, and assistive technologies, such as braille displays, in which the 6-dot cell braille is extended to 8-dot. This work proposes a language-independent methodology for the systematic development of an 8-dot braille code. Moreover, a set of design principles is introduced that focuses on: achieving an abbreviated representation of the supported symbols, retaining connectivity with the 6-dot representation, preserving similarity on the transition rules applied in other languages, removing ambiguities, and considering future extensions. The proposed methodology was successfully applied in the development of an 8-dot literary Greek braille code that covers both the modern and the ancient Greek orthography, including diphthongs, digits, and punctuation marks.
