A dot-six cell marking the next letter as a capital.
Also known as: Capital sign braille, Braille capital sign, Dot six indicator
In Unified English Braille a cell with dot six raised, placed immediately before a letter, marks that letter as a capital. Braille has no separate capital letters, so case is carried by an indicator instead.
Marks the letter immediately following as a capital.

Exists because braille has one set of letters rather than two: case is a property added by an indicator, not a different character.
