Could be done in a font with ligatures. Turns out that ligatures in common font formats are quite powerful! See e.g. http://www.sansbullshitsans.com/ http://www.sansbullshitsans.com/ or https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode

  For a correct Braille 2 translation one needs to understand the context of a word. Your first link actually is a good example for this problem. Enter "agile" and "fragile".

    To second this, Braille "folding" is also sensible to pronunciation..

Letter by letter is fairly common for signage / labels, which seems to be one of the intended applications.
