A standard braille cell consists of six dots
arranged in three rows and two columns.
Each dot can be specifically identified by its number as follows:
<DL>
<DT>1<DD>
Top-left (row 1, column 1).
<DT>2<DD>
Middle-left (row 2, column 1).
<DT>3<DD>
Bottom-left (row 3, column 1).
<DT>4<DD>
Top-right (row 1, column 2).
<DT>5<DD>
Middle-right (row 2, column 2).
<DT>6<DD>
Bottom-right (row 3, column 2).
</DL>

Computer braille has introduced a fourth row at the bottom.
<DL>
<DT>7<DD>
Below-left (row 4, column 1).
<DT>8<DD>
Below-right (row 4, column 2).
</DL>

Perhaps a picture will make this numbering convention easier to understand.
