Description Samuel Thibault 2005-11-15 23:09:29 UTC 
Hi,

The ISO/TR 11548-1 standard defines a way to encode braille dot patterns as 8bit values. It would be useful to add this encoding to iconv, so as to be able to convert from that encoding to unicode (and backward). I will attach some implementation (not tested, but testcase provided).

Thorough testcase of all braille dot patterns (0x00 (no dot) - 0xff (all dots))

Result of conversion of the previously-attached testcase into UTF-8

Note: feel free to correct the name of the charset: standards say "ISO/TR 11548-1", which I abbreviated to ISO 11548-1, but I may be wrong.
