Dots numbering is standardised? #4

Open sr12zar opened 1 year ago

sr12zar commented 1 year ago

The number patterns used in Thaibraille (here) seems to be unique. Internationally standardised numbering as used in EU, UK, US for 6 dots (2 columns x 3 rows) is (1:top left, 2 middle left, 3 bottom left); (4 top right, 5 mid rt, 6 bot rt) and for 8 dots the 6 dots are shifted up and 2 more dots added as bottom row with numbers (7 bot left; 8 bot rt).

Though the numbering in python code works now, there is a question on communication among international community.

I agree. Thaibraille doen't use standardised. I want to fellow Thai standardised but I don't see any standardised in my language (low resource for research), so I was create this project for create Thai Dots numbering that output is Braille Patterns block of the Unicode standard for printing.

Please have a look at https://github.com/sr12zar/KoKho/tree/main/script : Bn2ThB.js and Th2Bn.js are javascript maps to international numbering convention (that is 1237 4568 column-wise, dot 5 is still the second dot of the second column). They should not be difficult to convert to Python. And ../ThaiBraille.html from there is the html I used to test the maps. ;-)

As to the other issue (incorrect key: value pair), I corrected that in my js maps.

I am about to add Braille and sign language scripts to one of the educational games (to help learning many scripts used in Thailand). Perhaps you can use them for something better.
