Wait, what?

This article opens with "Computer Braille is an adaptation of braille to represent the computer code.". Now, I'm no expert in computers, (...well, some might disagree), but "the computer code" doesn't make sense- which one? There's more than one code used in computers. What does 'code' even mean here? Are we talking about programming or about ASCII or what? Hppavilion1 (talk) 04:06, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Does 8-dot code have 256 entries

There are 256 different 8-dot patterns, but the 8-dot diagram is showing only 128 and never turns on the lower-right dot 8. Do these characters also work, and possibly have assignments picked by matching them to the CP432 code page like it appears the first 127 do?
