Braille 250th Sesquincentennial Flag for the Blind, Curious, Spies, and Night Writers


 The arrangement of stars on this flag translates to 250, in honor of America's 250th Sesquincentennial. All have seen Braille in elevators, public parks, and historical markers here and there.  Yet to catch a blind person reading it the wild is the rarest of rare.  One has better chances of being abducted by Aliens.  

If you ever learn Braille, you'll notice that translation is not always perfect as to what is written. 

 The backwards L is the # indicator, then the letters B, E, and J double for numbers in front of the backwards L.

 Devanagari 250th for the people of India, welcome to the team.  It is for India-Americans!  Even if you are H1-B visa, like your Devanagari pride flow.

The 2 looks like 4 and 9 had a baby, while 5 looks like 6 and 4 got mixed up, but zero is a zero hero!  Thank you India for that zero!  

 २५० = 250
