The Braille pattern dots-456 (⠸) is a 6-dot braille cell with all three right dots raised, or an 8-dot braille cell with the top, upper-middle, and lower-middle right dots raised. It is represented by the Unicode code point U+2838, and in Braille ASCII with the underscore: _.
In unified international braille, the braille pattern dots-456 is used to represent lateral approximant, such as /l/, /ʟ/, or /ʎ/ when multiple letters correspond to these values, and is otherwise assigned as needed.[1]
Related to Braille pattern dots-456 are Braille patterns 4567, 4568, and 45678, which are used in 8-dot braille systems, such as Gardner-Salinas and Luxembourgish Braille.
In the Japanese kantenji braille, the standard 8-dot Braille patterns 568, 1568, 4568, and 14568 are the patterns related to Braille pattern dots-456, since the two additional dots of kantenji patterns 0456, 4567, and 04567 are placed above the base 6-dot cell, instead of below, as in standard 8-dot braille.
