Every common braille terminals uses 8 dots braille because it can
represent 256 patterns (including the blank). You can then have a direct
mapping between braille paterns and the ASCII character table. Usually,
when you talk about computer braille, it's in 8 dots. But for paper
braille, it's very rare you'll see 8 dots braille. Paper braille is
usually made of 6 dots braille with conventionnal "escape" sequences and
syntax.
