What is Moon?
Moon is a system of raised shapes, which can help blind people to read by touch. It was devised by a blind English man, called Dr William Moon.
The characters are made up of raised lines and curves, similar to the print alphabet, to create a set of basic shapes. These shapes are rotated or reflected to create the 26 letters of the alphabet and additional dots are used for punctuation marks and the numeral sign.
