Per https://fonts.google.com/noto/use#how-are-noto-fonts-organized, penultimate paragraph in "Noto families":

Use [...] Noto Sans Symbols 2 for Braille letters, dingbats, arrows, and chess symbols.

@LornaSIL wrote (#13): "As far as Braille goes there is also the Catrinity font which has Braille and it is under the OFL." Would this font be preferable to Noto Sans Symbols 2? Is there room for both in the table?

I could add Catrinity in the "Other" column, but it seems unlikely to me that the default font should include the open dots (and possibly not have different 6- and 8- dot glyphs).

@LornaSIL Do you think Catrinity should be added here and to https://github.com/silnrsi/fonts/blob/main/families.json?

They both have the same character set (for the Braille block). As you say, it's odd to have the open cells, so just stick with the Noto font.

@mhosken This PR is ready to merge, but I know you're doing some debugging and I don't want to trigger another build until you're ready. Feel free to merge this whenever it's convenient for you (or let me know and I'll do it).
