Ah, well, your original comment was a little unclear there, so apologies for the confusion.
Unfortunately most of the characters won’t map onto any Latin letter. Typical English Braille only uses the top 6 dots - but as a display character, this program uses all 8 dots. I’m not even sure which Braille dialects use all eight dots. As another commenter hinted at, it’s a bit strange to ask what the semantic meaning of graphical display characters are - a bit like reading out the characters in a binary file which happen to correspond to ASCII values. (Like, what might happen if you open a binary file in a text editor).

And they are different in to which direction 6-dot brailles are extended.
