Braille

The braille icon represents the braille writing system, which enables visually impaired individuals to read and write through tactile sensations. Braille is a crucial tool for accessibility and inclusion, allowing people with vision impairments to communicate and access information. The icon may feature a stylized representation of braille dots or a braille book.

Braille icons can be used in various contexts, such as educational websites, accessibility guides, or apps that support visually impaired users. For example, an educational website might use a braille icon to indicate that a resource is available in braille format.

From a UX perspective, the braille icon communicates a sense of accessibility and inclusion, helping users quickly identify features or resources that support visually impaired individuals. When used in a website or app, the icon can help users navigate to sections that provide braille materials or support.

Braille is one of 167 icons in Map Icons, made by Scott de Jonge and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 50 × 50 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds BrailleIcon to components/icons/map-braille.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed BrailleIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Braille icon, or any of 167 Map Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 50 × 50 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Braille", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BrailleIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BrailleIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Map Icons, Scott de Jonge and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

8 other libraries draw an icon called Braille. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are communication, education, accessibility, disability, inclusion and literacy. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Braille in another set.
