- Method Detail
  - toBraille
```
String toBraille(String text)
```
    Transcodes the given text string as braille. This may be a one-to-one mapping or a many-to-one depending on the table implementation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    text - the text to convert
    
    Returns:
    
    returns a Unicode string of braille
  - toText
```
String toText(String braille)
```
    Transcodes the given braille into text.
    In most cases this will reverse the effect of toBraille(String text), i.e. text.equals(toText(toBraille(text))), however an implementation cannot rely on it.
    Values must be between 0x2800 and 0x28FF.
    
    Parameters:
    
    braille - the braille to convert
    
    Returns:
    
    returns a text string
  - getPreferredCharset
```
Charset getPreferredCharset()
```

    Returns:
    
    returns the preferred charset
  - supportsEightDot
```
boolean supportsEightDot()
