About the Braille Reading Hand black filled icon

A hand with the index finger raised moves across a field of raised dots arranged in braille cells, showing reading by touch rather than sight. Fitting for accessibility statements, disability services, library and museum guides, assistive technology products and inclusive design documentation, as well as signage that marks a braille version of a text.

Dots are scattered on both sides of the hand, which suggests a continuous line of text instead of one character. It sits well beside wheelchair, sign language and audio description icons. Leave clear space around it so the dots are not read as noise.

This is the solid black filled version of the braille reading hand icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.
