Braille Letter W Flag, Wiskey

The Braille flag for W is a little different.  The colours code for position 40, since green in 4 and white is 0.  Normally W is the 23rd letter in the alphabet, but since Braille was created by the French, Mr. Braille, it was added later after it was widely adopted and spread the English speaking world.  Another neat fact is that it is of the few brl symbols to resemble one of the famous Tetris pieces. 

Braille Letter V Flag, Victor

The Morse code for V has four elements, 3 dits and one dah.  Likewise the Braille letter for V has for elements: three in a line and one by itself.  Since V is the 22 second letter of the alphabet it gets two oranges that unite to make a whole orange flag.  Remember 2 is coded to the colour orange since orange is dominantly recognized as the 2nd colour of the rainbow/spectrum.  Ironically the Braille V erroneously spells out the letter L, and L is usually associated with the a loss or loser.

Braille Letter T Flag, Tango

Tango is the one of the neat Braille letters that looks like a Tetris symbol.  Here the flag for the Braille letter T has an orange and white field.  Since orange is the second colour of the spectrum it is coded to 2 and white is coded to 0 as it represents all colours.  Black is included because it is the assigned contrast minority indicator.

Braille Letter S Flag, Sierra

I is 9th letter of the alphabet, and an easy way to remember this fact is to think of the I-9 assassin droid from Star Wars.  Nine is assigned the colour pink as pink is final number before the zero reset.  So red is combined with white to give the pink colour of completion.

The 18th letter in the alphabet is R.  Consequently the colours coded to 1 and 8 are used, which is red and black.  Remember the 1st colour of the rainbow is red which is 1 and 8 is coded to black.
