Literal meaningCurrent Braille
A sample Mainland Chinese Braille text in Xujiahui Park, Shanghai. Most of the tones are omitted except for in a few places that may cause confusion.

Mainland Chinese Braille is a braille script for Standard Chinese used in China.[1] Consonants and basic finals conform to international braille, but additional finals form a semi-syllabary, as in bopomofo. Each syllable is written with up to three Braille cells, representing the initial, final, and tone, respectively. In practice tone is generally omitted as it is in pinyin.
