Well recently I decided I wanted to use braille, but I was too lazy to create an image for each and every braille tablet, so I came up with the idea to input a string and convert that into a displayable braille tablet!
To use call (with a script command): Braille.show("Text Here")
Also, you'll need these too if you want the script to work: "image removed"
To use call (with a script command): Braille.show("Text Here")
Code:

# Turns a normal string into a Braille string and displays it.
#
# NOTICE: Yes, I know the braille graphics aren't the best, but they work.
#
# How to use:
# - Insert the graphics provided to: YourGameFolder/Graphics/Pictures OR add
# your own graphics (to the same folder)
# - Customize the settings to make sure everything works the way it should
# - Test it out
# - Report any problems
#
#
# Call with: Braille.show("Text Here")

class Braille
BackgroundFile = "BrailleBackground" # Background of the Braille (EG a stone tablet)
FilePrefix = "Braille" # The prefix of the Braille characters (EG if the prefix
# is "Braille_" then it will look for "Braille_A",
# "Braille_B", "Braille_C", ect.)
# THESE OPTIONS ARE MEASURED IN PIXELS!
BrailleStartX = 32 # The Starting X (per line) on which a Braille character is shown
BrailleStartY = 32 # The Starting Y point on which Braille is shown
BrailleNewLineAt = Graphics.width - BrailleStartX # The maximum X before we go to
# a new line
