Hack Braille is Hack 3.003 with the braille patterns U+2800..U+28FF added, which Hack and most other monospace fonts lack and many TUIs use for graphs and spinners. The braille glyphs are drawn by mkhackbraille.py (in the source tarball) with the geometry of the Nerd Fonts patcher's braille; nothing else changes. License as Hack: MIT and the Bitstream Vera License, which asks for the rename; LICENSE.md is installed with the fonts' documentation. The fonts go to /usr/share/fonts/Hack-Braille/. xterm and xfce4-terminal already have them compiled in; installed, they are available to every application, and fontconfig also picks them for braille missing from other monospace fonts.
