While currently the Braille system is the most popular and some materials have been prepared in Moon type, historically, many other tactile alphabets have existed: Systems based on embossed Roman letters: Moon type; Valentin Haüy's system (in italic style)
Older browsers may not support the latter. NYP letters should only be as wide as their number of dots. However, since 2×3 braille cells are substituted for New York Point in the second row of their table, the one-dot-wide letters e, i, and t are wrongly shown as being as wide as others. The same inaccuracy occurs with the nine, zero, comma ...
