[BlindMath] Nemeth/braille math

Dear all,

In the past I learned a local maths braille system. I also read LaTeX but
for my own computations now and then it might be nice to use something more
compact, like the Nemeth code which you could read on the Braille display
and which you could easily type using the Perkins-style keyboard often
integrated in these displays.

I now would like to have a guide to Nemeth to have a quick start, and which
is written for self-study of an end-user rather than written for
instructors. It would be nice to have a glossary that reads like:
Integral sign: dots 2346
start subscript: dots 16
closing sign (for a sub/superscript, nominator, denominator): dots 156
And so on.

Is there any such online resource that I could easily access?

There are also other braille math codes (such as the UK one). Are they much
different and which one will be most widely usable when it comes to
conversion to other formats etc.?

Kind regards,
Bert
