That's possible since linux 2.6.18, you just need a font that contains
braille patterns and a braille keymap, you can use the ones I prepared

Unfortunately the screen driver model still does't take unicode into
account and thus brltty will still show question marks for now.

Actually, I got the needed patch in a lot earlier :)
