- Method Detail
  - convert
```
public static String convert(String braille)
```
    Convert BRL characters to unicode braille, if necessary. Sometimes a BRL character must be converted to a unicode braille character. For instance, the pipeline would convert BRL character ~ to (5 26) but it should be converted to (56) according to the table above. Case information gets lost when converting to unicode braille. Therefore, as much as possible we let the pipeline take care of the conversion to unicode braille.
    
    Parameters:
    
    braille - Symbol replacement
    
    Returns:
    
    certain BRL characters replaced by Unicode braille characters
