Dr. William Moon (1818 – October 9, 1894) was an Englishman who created Moon type.

Moon was originally from Horsmonden, Kent. By 1839 he had become totally blind and had moved in with his widowed mother and sister in Brighton, East Sussex. He taught embossed reading codes developed by several people (Alston, Frere, Gall, and Lucas) to local boys who were blind, but found that the boys considered these systems difficult to learn. He first formulated ideas for using embossed letters in 1843 and they were published in 1845.

Louis Braille was born in Coupvray near Paris, France. He was completely blind by the age of five.
In 1821, Charles Barbier, a former soldier, visited the Institution Royale des Jeunes Aveugles (Royal Institution for Blind Youth) in Paris. Barbier shared his invention called "night writing," a code of 12 raised dots and a number of dashes that let soldiers share top-secret information on the battlefield without having to speak. Although the code was too difficult for the average soldier, Braille picked it up quickly.
The same year Louis began inventing his raised-dot system with his father's stitching awl, finishing at age 15. His system used only six dots and corresponded to letters, whereas Barbier's used 12 dots corresponding to sounds.
The significance of the braille system was not identified until 1868, sixteen years after Louis Braille died, when Dr Thomas Rhodes Armitage and a group of four blind men and one woman established the British and Foreign Society for Improving the Embossed Literature of the Blind (later the Royal National Institute of the Blind), which published books in Braille's system.
Braille has been adapted to almost every major national language and is the primary system of written communication for visually impaired persons around the world.

The asteroid 9969 Braille was named in honor of him.
