Braille letters are lower case unless marked. A name takes the capital sign, dot 6, before its first letter (⠠⠝⠕⠁⠓). In all capitals, NOAH, two capital signs mark the whole word: ⠠⠠⠝⠕⠁⠓.

Grade 1 and Grade 2

This is uncontracted (Grade 1) braille, every letter written out, which is where learners start. Books, signs and labels mostly use Grade 2, where common letter groups and words take a single cell, so some words come out shorter there. See the Grade 2 contractions.

Remember it, don't just look it up

A name is spelled letter by letter, so the alphabet is what to learn. Braille a Day brings it back tomorrow to answer from memory, then again just before you'd forget. Five minutes a day.
