'''Computer Braille''' is an adaptation of [[braille]] to an eight-dot cell; the resulting 256 characters are assigned to the 256 characters of [[ASCII]] computer coding. Unfortunately, an eight-dot cell is too large to be read easily, negating one of the principal advantages of braille, and it was abandoned in [[Unified English Braille]], which has been adopted in most English-speaking countries apart from the United States.
