Braille Ambigram List

Compiled by Sean M. Burke 1999-05-19 (graphic version 2004-02-01), based on the UNIX wordlist -- so this list is probably not complete.

The left column is the Braille-ASCII form of the words; the two middle columns are the Braille graphic forms, first as GIFs, then as Unicode characters; and the right column is the "flat" English spelling of the words.
