+    braille(H::Union{SparseMPO, MPOHamiltonian})
+
+Prints a compact, human-readable "braille" visualization of a sparseMPO or MPOHamiltonian.
+Each site of the MPO is represented as a block of Unicode braille characters, with sites separated by dashes.
+This visualization is useful for quickly inspecting the structure and sparsity pattern of MPOs.
+
+# Arguments
+- `io::IO`: The output stream to print to (e.g., `stdout`).
+- `H::Union{SparseMPO, MPOHamiltonian}`: The `SparseMPO` or `MPOHamiltonian` to visualize.
+
+If called without an `io` argument, output is printed to `stdout`.
