International Council on English Braille

The International Council on English Braille (ICEB) is the standardization body of braille for the English speaking world. Its current membership includes the following eight countries: Australia, Canada, Ireland, Nepal, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[1][2] The ICEB braille standard is Unified English Braille, which has been accepted by all member states.

Other writing systems

Other than languages, the ICEB also recognizes the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) *[1] henceforth creating braille letters for the main letters and symbols of the IPA.
