To run this code in your powershell or CMD, you need to set it up for Braille font that can be downloaded from here.. It's better to run the code in an IDE.

Disclaimer

All the Braille symbols are taken from Pharmabraille.

Please consider that a 100% correct braille translation can only be done by a humans, as this requires an understanding of the text content. Some Grade 2 Contractions require a text understanding that a machine can't have. For example, the combination wh can be replaced by one character in grade 2, but not when the word is combined of two words. So a(wh)ile is OK, but ra(wh)ide is not.
