Japanese Kana, Braille, Morse and Text Converters

Writing systems are still being invented and adapted. Japanese mixes two syllabaries with Chinese characters. Braille turned the alphabet into patterns of raised dots in 1829, and Morse turned it into long and short signals for the telegraph. Unicode now encodes all of these, which is why you can type and share them anywhere.

These tools convert between scripts and codes accurately and explain the rules they follow, so you can learn the system as well as use it.
