@alexhall Why do you know the number of each letter? Maybe I'm just dumb right now, or our braille has differences because of the language, but why would I know the number of a letter just cuz I know it in braille?

@jonathan859 A through J are letters 1 through 0--just add the number sign. Then the pattern starts over. An a with a dot 3 is a k, a b with a dot 3 is l, c with odt 3 is m, and so on up through t. Thus, any letter with a dot 3 in the bottom row is the number of the dot configuration in the top 4 dots, plus 10. Repeat with 3-6 for u through z. W throws it off, since it was added to English braille later.
@jonathan859 For instance, u is an a with dots 3-6, making it a (that's the only dot in the top 4) plus 20, or 21. O is 15, because its top 4 make an e, and it has a dot 3. E is 5, dot 3 adds 10, so o is 15.
