Morse code thus determines the dot length. It is common to assume that a word is 5 characters long. There are two common typical words: "PARIS" and "CODEX". PARIS mimics a word rate that is typical of natural language words and reflects the benefits of Morse code's shorter code durations for common characters such as "e" and "t". CODEX offers a word rate that is typical of 5-letter code groups (sequences of random letters). Using the word PARIS as a standard, the number of dot units is 50 and a simple calculation shows that the dot length at 20 words per minute
Braille pattern dots-356 Braille pattern dots-356 The Braille pattern dots-356 ( ) is a 6-dot braille cell with the middle right and both bottom dots raised, or an 8-dot braille cell with the upper-middle right and both lower-middle dots raised. It is represented by the Unicode code point U+2834, and in Braille ASCII with the number 0. In unified international braille, the braille pattern dots-356 is used to represent various punctuation, often coupled with Braille pattern dots-236 as an closing mark. † Abolished in Unified English Braille Related to Braille pattern dots-356 are Braille patterns 3567, 3568, and 35678, which are used in
