World Braille Day celebrated across the globe on 04 January 2024.
This day marks the birthday of Louis Braille, who invented the Braille script and was born in France in 1809.
United Nations has designated 4 January every year as World Braille Day. World Braille Day has been celebrated since 2019.
World Braille Day is celebrated to raise awareness of the importance of Braille as a means of communication for the human rights of blind and partially sighted people.
Braille is a universal code rather than a language. It is a tool to write and read Sanskrit, Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Spanish, and other languages.
Braille is a tactile representation of alphabetic and numerical symbols using six dots to represent each letter and number.
