Georgian Braille is a braille alphabet used for writing the Georgian language. The assignments of the Georgian alphabet to braille patterns is largely consistent with unified international braille.

Alphabet

⠁ ა a	⠃ ბ b	⠛ გ g	⠙ დ d	⠑ ე e	⠺ ვ v	⠵ ზ z	⠋ თ t’	⠊ ი i	⠅ კ k	⠇ ლ l
⠍ მ m	⠝ ნ n	⠕ ო o	⠏ პ p	⠚ ჟ zh	⠗ რ r	⠎ ს s	⠞ ტ t	⠥ უ u	⠧ ფ p’	⠻ ქ k’
⠫ ღ gh	⠮ ყ q	⠱ შ sh	⠟ ჩ ch’	⠉ ც ts’	⠽ ძ dz	⠹ წ ts	⠭ ჭ ch	⠓ ხ kh	⠪ ჯ dj	⠯ ჰ h

The basic braille range mostly conforms with international norms, with the exception of sounds which do not occur in Georgian, such as ⠋ *f (reassigned in Georgian to თ t’), and ⠟ *q, which is used for ჩ ch’ rather than ყ q. The assignment of ⠟ to ჩ ch’ is reminiscent of Russian Braille, as is one or two other letters (⠱ for შ sh is widespread in Eastern Europe), but most of the extended-letter assignments are unique to Georgian.
