'''[[BRF]]''' is a format for saving [[Braille]] text in [[ASCII]] form for computerized transmission, using various ASCII characters to represent the Braille symbols. The files will generally look like gibberish to those unfamiliar with the format, but since only normal ASCII characters are used the file can be transmitted just like any text file, not requiring any special binary handling.
