Braiile is a language of communication for the blind. If a Megilla was wriiten on Claf, with Dyo, all according to halacha. A megilla can have nekudot and taamim written into it. Could braille letters be coded (the parchment would have "bumps" embossed into the paqrchment) into the megilla. Would this allow a blind person to read the megilla. He would not be doing it by memory since his fingers would become his eyes

Dear Benjamin,

I am in doubt if such a reading helps, since it is not a language as the others in the world.

Rabbi Feinhandler

Braille is not a language - it is a method of writing, like Ksav Ashuri, or old Hebrew script - so the question should be whether a Megilla written in another script is Kosher for reading the Megilla [which it is not, -DAF]. An example could be - besides other hebrew scripts, such as cursive - writing a Megilla using, say, latin letters to represent the original words of the Megilla; "Vayehi biymei A[h]ashvayrosh" etc. - would that be kosher or not.
