def reverse_binary_string_list() -> list[str]:

Description

• Returns a list with 64 items, where each item is a 6‑bit binary string reversed from right to left.

Details

• Output type: list[str]
• Total items: 64
• String length: always 6 characters
• Characters used: '0' and '1'
• Order: sequential binary representation of numbers 0–63
• Transformation: each binary string is reversed
• Mapping: index → "reversed_binary_string"

0004-D - Braille Unicode

@staticmethod
def unicode_list() -> list[str]:

Description

• Returns a list with 64 Unicode strings, each representing the hexadecimal Unicode code point of a braille character.
