Braille on Apple Products

Hi AppleVIS users.
Does anyone know of a good braille Display that supports Chinese braille input and output for iOS devices?
I currently have an APH Chameleon 20 but I realize that it does not display Chinese braille when iOS to text Chinese characters.
First of all, I don’t know if Chinese braille Actually exist, but I realized when there is Chinese characters, it just displays a line of semicolons, see and various types of lines, and other different types of braille displays such as those made by Perkins which is discontinued, the display of Chinese characters is completely different with questions, Jay, and various types of other characters that are different.
So I don’t know what type of braille display supports actual Chinese characters when it comes to displaying Chinese characters.
I don’t even know if Chinese braille is actually an existing language supported by iOS.
But I’m wondering if any of you know if it is supported and is there a recommended display for reading and writing Chinese characters using the Pinyin input method.
Also I noticed a lot of braille products don’t support the Chinese language natively but it’s not related to Apple products though.
But my question is related to braille displays that work with Apple products to display and write Chinese characters.
Please let me know if you find a recommended braille display that works with Chinese on iOS.
Thanks

I think the latest focus 40 blue is good.
but, you have to switch your keyboard to chinese pingyin.
then you can use Chinese braille pinging to type chinese.

You can use any braille display to read and write Chinese braille. The information that VoiceOver sends should be the same regardless of the braille display in use.

You may not be seeing Chinese braille because you have not added it within VoiceOver. To do this, go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille > Braille Tables > Add new table.
