How are Spanish braille and English braille the same? Within both in English and Spanish, there are two braille “codes”. There is an “uncontracted” code in which each braille cell represents a letter, number or punctuation mark. These codes are almost identical in English and Spanish since both languages use essentially the same
The only real variations are that Spanish has additional braille cells to represent seven commonly occurring accented letters – á, é, í, ó, ú, ü and ñ – and also some punctuation symbols are different. In either language, a young blind student typically learns this basic, uncontracted code first.

English braille uses twenty six symbols to represent the alphabet.
