Since the braille already shows the pronunciation, what if we just show the 
English definition. That should clarify which word it is. Would that be 
sufficient?

Another question for my curiosity: If the braille is the same for two 
characters then wouldn't that also mean that the spoken pronunciation is the 
same? If so, then wouldn't spoken Chinese have the same problem? How is that 
resolved?

I know that Chinese shows the difference between words by the tone in which 
they are spoken. Does the braille representation also show the tone?
