Naming conventions

There are some different possibilities for file names in the categories Braille letters (6 dots) and Braille letters (8 dots) depending on the point of view. It is necessary to distinguish between the 6-point and the 8-point drawings. Within these two categories, various naming conventions for images are currently counteracting and coexisting, e.g. for file redirects. each file can be named (used example is the letter X):

• Braille X.svg – depending on the letter represented, such preferring the German Braille, however most Braille transcription systems (including German Braille) are derived from the 1829 French Braille, for Latin script sources or via romanisations for other source scripts;
• Braille 1346.svg – naming the raised dots by their numbers;
• Braille8 Dots-1436.svg – same for 8 dots;
• Braille 101101.svg – naming of the raised dots (1,3,4,6) in binary;
• Braille 282D – because it shows the Unicode character U+282D (⠭);
• Braille ⠭.svg – using the Unicode character itself
• ⠭n.svg – another redirect for the 6-dot Braille X.svg.

It would have been a good solution when the file names itselves provide a useful sorting within the categories, otherwise it must be cared for a sort key.
